- It is highly unusual far historians
to be given such dose access to a
politician who is still active and in
office. Edmund Morris was given
similar treatment towards the end
of Ronald Reagan's presidency. The
dosest British parallel is John
Mi?ley, who wrote die classic
official biography of Gladstone after
observing him closely as a member
of his last cabinet in the 1890s.
An approved biography of Mr
Major is now being written by
Anthony Seldon. a prominent con¬
temporary historian. This is due far
publication in the autumn of next
year.
Apart from his mammoth biogra¬
phy of Churchill. Mr Gilbert has
written extensively on 20th century
conflicts, inducting both world
wars, fn July last year when he
produced an account of how he
approached the Churchill biogra¬
phy. he said that he was thinking
about writing about some other
British figure. “Bui I have no one in
mind. Any suggestions would be
gratefully received."
His presence at John Major's side
on a particularly awkward visit to
Washington confirms that Chur¬
chill’s most distinguished biogra¬
pher is new one” of the Prime
Minister's dosest confidants. Mr
Gilbert has in fact been contributing
to Mr Major's speeches since the
two men became friends before the
1992 general election. Tne histori¬
an's rapport with the Prime Minis¬
ter seems to be based on mutual
regard; Mr Major evidently finds
Mr Gilbert's liberal views quite
congenial. lndeed.Mr Gilbert, 59. is
exactly the kind of polymath that
any politician would like to have
around. Mrs Thatcher, for example,
invited the historian Hugh Thomas
(Lord Thomas of Swynnertonj to
accompany her on visits to Latin
America. '

Ministers study
£8,000 ‘learning
credits’ scheme
By Nicholas Wood, chief political correspondent
PLANS to issue education
vouchers worth up to £8,000 to
sixth formers will be exam¬
ined by Cabinet ministers this
week in an attempt to make
schools, colleges and employ¬
ers more responsive to fee
career ambitions of young
people.
The proposed shake-up.
which would put fee funding
of academic courses on fee
same footing as vocational
ones, would have far-reaching
effects on school sixth forms.
Those feat attracted plenty
of 16-year-olds keen to stay on
and do A levels would flour¬
ish. But those that lost many of
their pupils to rival colleges of
further education or employ¬
er-based courses would come
under financial pressure.
Michael PbrtilJo. fee Em¬
ployment Secretary, is under¬
stood to be attracted by a
scheme intended to give great¬
er consumer power to young
people planning their futures
and to replace the effective
monopoly enjoyed by many
schools and colleges wife the
dynamism of an educational
marketplace.
He will urge his fellow
ministers to test its prac¬
ticalities by running three or
four pilot projects involving
about 25.000 16-year-olds. He
could run into opposition from
Gillian Shephard, die Educa¬
tion Secretary, who might
resist any encroachment onto
her territory.
Although John Major has
made dear the Government
sees no place for vouchers for
children of compulsory school
age and will not breach the
principle of free state school¬
ing for fee 5-16 age group,
vouchers are being seen by
ministers as the best way of
expanding provision for youn¬
ger and older children.
An announcement about a
voucher scheme for nursery
schools is expected shortly and
Mr Portillo is keen to try out
fee idea for the 16-19 age
group.
The Cabinet's home and
social affaire committee,
which meets on Thursday,
will have before it a report
from Coopers and Lybrand, a
firm of management consuh
iants. on “learning credits”.
A key issue for ministers is
whether teenagers will be able
to keep fee “loose change" if a
course costs less than the
value of their voucher. The
prospect of sixth formers
being asked to top up their
vouchers to meet the cost of
courses is being discounted.
The committee is chaired by
Tony Newton, fee Commons
Leader, and has a wide mem¬
bership of ministers involved
in domestic policy.

ANNE INGRAM, mother of
the British-born murderer due
to die in Georgia's electric
chair this Thursday, flew from
Atlanta to Washington yester¬
day in a desperate but futile
attempt to persuade John Ma¬

behalf.
The Prime Minister refused
to see Mrs Ingram between
his meetings with top Ameri¬

Instead, he sent her a note

nothing he could do. She spent
nearly an hour presenting her
case to Peter Westmacon. the
political counsellor at the Brit¬

Mrs Ingrain said she had
told Mr Westmacoft of new
information that her son.
Nicholas. 32, had been on
antipsychotic drugs during his
trial and unable property to
defend himself. She said she
would wait to see what fee

she had “not given up this

A question of turning the tables on inquisitors
FOUR hundred and eighty-
nine journalists now have
parliamentary press passes.
We know this because it was
revealed in a Written Answer
from the Chairman of the
Administration Committee
last week.
Peter Bottomley (C,
Ellham) had inquired.
Bottomley is on the warpath
after newspapers suggested
that MPs were enjoying an
effective three-day week.
"Will he arrange to monitor
for a week the number of
journalists in the gallery dur¬
ing each hour the House
sits?” Bottomley added.
“Yes,” was the reply, “I
have asked the Serjeant at
Arms to make arrangements
for the first full sitting week
after the House returns from
the Easter adjournment.”
f regret to say that
Bottomley's warning has yet
to sink in. Choosing a particu¬
larly riveting moment of yes¬
terday afternoon's proceed¬
ings when, at 5.43pm. MPs
were considering New Clause
I at the Report Stage of the
Finance Bill. I peered in to
check. David Winnick (Lab,
Walsall N) was on his fed.
Besides Winnick there were
17 MPs in the Chamber.
There was one journalist in
the Press Gallery. He was not
POLITICAL SKETCH
taking notes. Where were die
other 488? We must pull up
our socks fast if we are to
survive the head counts.
Mr Bottomley’s spies will
either have to keep a continu¬
ous tally, or make random
swoops. For if the count takes
place at the same time each
hour we will soon learn when
that is, and file in like
prisoners to the prison yard
for the taking of the register
— then escape back behind
bars. Many journalists con¬
sider the Bottomley plan
outrageous.
But this column is con¬
cerned not that it is too bold—
but dial it is too timid. The
mere fact of a reporter's
physical presence is no guar¬
antee that he or she is
listening, understanding, or,
indeed, awake. Ten seconds
of Winnick yesterday had my
eyes glazing over.
There are two ways Mr B
might check that we were
doing our job. The first (and
less ambitious) is that Mad¬
am Speaker be empowered to
interrupt MPs* speeches at
any point, crane her neck up
at the Press Gallery, select
any journalist at random, and
calt "You — yes, you, young
lady — Alice Thomson! What
was Mr Winnick just say¬
ing?” And (assuming she bad
a note) Alice would have to try
to read her shorthand back as
MPs giggled and jeered.
For expert political editors,
this spotcbeck could go fur¬
ther. As (for instance) Mr
Major droned “I refer my Rt
Hon friend to the answer f
gave on 2D March. 1991”.
Miss Boothroyd could hark
up at us: “Now left see who
rally knows their stuff. To
what is the Prime Minister
referring here? Hands up!
Yes, Peter Riddell.. ”
But my more ambitious
plan is. 1 think, die best Apart
from Questions to depart¬
mental ministers, each Wed¬
nesday would feature quarter
of an hour for Questions to
newspaper editors. On foe
first Wednesday after Easier,
we might have Questions to
the Editor of The Inde¬
pendent newspaper.

Clwyd and Cousins failed to clear visit to Turkey with Chief Whip
Blair dismisses two
frontbenchers for
unauthorised trip
By Jill Sherman
POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT
TONY BLAIR took a tough
approach to party discipline
yesterday by sacking two Lab¬
our frontbenchers for taking
an unauthorised trip abroad
Ann Clwyd and Jim Cous¬
ins. both from Labour’s for¬
eign affairs team, were
dismissed after going on a
five-day visit to Turkey and
Iraq without getting permis¬
sion from Derek Foster.
Labour's Chief Whip. Deter¬
mined to assert his authority
on his frontbench team, the
Labour leader reprimanded
Ms Clwyd and Mr Cousins for
missing a series of key votes in
the Commons last week.
The MPs left on Sunday.
March 26. missing votes on
the Disabled Rights Bill and a
three-line whip on an educa¬
tion debate, before returning
last Friday.
The visit, to monitor the
Turkish army's incursion
against Kurdish guerrillas in
Iraq, also meant that two of
Labour's foreign affairs team
were absent during Foreign
Office questions in the Com¬
mons last Wednesday.
They have been dismissed
for going abroad without the
permission of the whips or of
the Shadow Foreign Secretary
and subsequently failing to
return for important votes,
having been asked to do so." a
spokesman for Mr Blair said.
Ms Clwyd, who had previ-
Cousins: not whingeing
ously been sacked from the
front bench by Neil Kinnodc
for voting against Labour on a
defence vote, immediately at¬
tacked the derision as "un¬
fair”. But Mr Cousins
aaxpted the decision and told
her to stop “whingeing".
Ms Clwyd said that her
dismissal was due to a long¬
standing argument with one
of the senior Labour whips,
the pairing whip Ray Powell
■She argued she had been
treated unfairly, insisting that
she had had a good voting
record and had been absent
from the Commons only once
this year.
T am quite prepared to take
punishment when 1 think it is
deserved but I do not. in the
circumstances, believe it was
deserved.” Ms Clwyd said.
Major challenges
Adams to discuss
decommissioning
From Peter Riddell in Washington
JOHN MAJOR challenged
Gerry Adams and Sinn Fein
yesterday to start serious dis¬
cussions about decommis¬
sioning the IRA's weapons
and explosives.
Speaking in Washington,
the Prime Minister brushed
aside Mr Adams's comment
that he did not have any
confidence in Mr Major, who
should follow the example of
President Clinton and "sue for
peace".
Mr Major said that he did
not care what the President of
Sinn Fein thought. What he
was concerned about was that
Sinn Fein "comes along and
engages in constructive dis¬
cussions that will lead to a
decommissioning of arms”.
Mr Major discussed the
Northern Ireland situation in
his talks with members of the
Administration and with con¬
gressional leaders. Mr Major
was given strong support on
the decommissioning issue by
Warren Christopher, the US
Secretary of State. Both Mr
Major and Mr Christopher
were ai pains to put behind
them the differences last
month over Mr Adams's visit
to Washington. Mr Major
described these differences as
“a spat, as there is in the best
of families”.
Sir Patrick Mayhew. the
Northern Ireland Secretary,
said he hoped that ministerial
talks with Sinn Fein could
begin soon.
Mr Major and the Clinton
Administration proclaimed
their agreement on a wide
range of international issues,
headed by the Bosnian con¬
flict, as a preparation for the
meeting today at the While
House between the Prime
Minister and the President.
On Bosnia, both govern¬
ments agreed on the need to
re invigorate the international
contact group to prolong the
cessation of hostilities due to
end later this month. How¬
ever. Mr Major failed to
persuade Senator Robert
Dole, the Republican majority
leader, of the strong British
opposition to the unilateral
lifting of sanctions against
arms supplies to foe Bosnian
Muslims.
Major in US. page 1
Diary,; page 26
She argued that she had been
invited at the last minute by
Erdai inonu, foe new Turkish
Foreign Secretary, to act as an
international observer.
Ms Clwyd. a human rights
campaigner, has had close
links with Turkey for more
than a decade and felt she
could not turn down such an
opportunity.
Mr Cousins, in sharp con¬
trast, accepted Mr Blairs deci¬
sion and admitted that he
would have done foe same
himself, and he advised Ms
Clwyd to stop complaining.
“ I don't think she has been
unfairly treated — 1 don’t
think I have been unfairly
treated.” he said. “I am not
whingeing about it and I
strongly recommend that Ann
doesn't whinge either.” he
added.
He is said to have agreed to
go with her because ms brief
covers the Middle East, but he
is privately angry that the trip
turned out to be little more
than a propaganda exercise.
The Chief Whip was alerted
to their trip only on Monday
morning last week, although
Ms Clwyd insisted shfc had lot
a message on the answering
machine of Don Dixon, foe
deputy chief whip. on. Sunday
before she departed.
She also said that she had
told the office of Robin Cook,
the Shadow Foreign Secre¬
tary. about the trip on the
previous Friday.

The Prime Minister also
emphasised America's right to

serious crimes in a draft reply
to the Labour MP Anne
Campbell, in whose Cam¬
bridge constituency Ingram
was bom. Mr Major wrote:

Church is
criticised
for £S00m
losses
By Arthur Leathley
A Commons report into the
Church of England's £800
mfllian losses is set to trigger a
shake-up of the links between
church and state.
Heavy losses on. property
deals, most notably in an £80
million development now
worth . £3 million, will be
dismissed as extremely, "fool¬
ish" by MPs later this month.
The Commons report will
conclude that foe Church

as any exempt charity could to
breaking foe law” and will
demand changes in foe.way.
the church controls its funds.
The Commissioners, who
administer assets wbrth £2.4
billion, may also be forced to
cede control of dergy pensions
worth some £1 billion.
. Members of foe’ Commons

tee will call for improvements
in the Church’s actuarial pro¬
cedures and publish a list of
criticisms of die Commission¬
ers' investment strategy, its
“cosy” relationship with spe¬

its failure to publish griggnau*
accounts.
MPs are anxious to press for ,
change to prevent a repetition
of foe investments made by
the Church during foe.1980s.
The report, to be published
after foe Easter holidays, will

M25 to be
widened
to carry
12 lanes
of traffic
By Jonathan Prynn
and Alice Thompson
THE busiest two-mile section
of the M 25 is to be turned into
the country's first 12-lane mo¬
torway. the Transport Secre¬
tary said yesterday.
Controversial proposals to
build link-roads ako^side foie
M2S in Surrey to create a 14-
Jane super-highway had been
shelved, Brian Mawhinney
told the Commons. The deci¬
sion was condemned by the
roads lobby and environmen¬
tal groups.
Under the new proposals,
foe .most heavily congested
stretch of foe London orbital
motorway trill be widened to
at least five lanes in each
direction between junctions 12
and 16 to the west of the
capital Only between junction
14, the interchange with the
M4. and junction 15 will foie
carriageway be widened to six
lanes. Dr Mawhinney said die
£75 million widening scheme,
combined with the introduc-.
tioa of new traffic manager
m eri t technology, was capable
of handling foe projected
growth in traffic on the M25
for die next 15 years.
Michael Meacher, the
Shadow Transport Secretary,
said the Government had
been imped into "a monumen¬
tal U-turn on a scheme which
should never have been envis¬
aged”. The proposed road
lanes were “very expensive
and will rapidly fill up with
traffic”, he said.
. Local anti-roads campaign¬
ers pledged to continue the
fight against foie proposals.
Roger Higman, transport
campaigner for Friends of foe
Earth, said: This announce¬
ment paves the way for part of
the M25 to be turned into a 12-
lane superhighway. That is
simply unacceptable.”
The derision also met a
furious reaction from the
roads lobby. The AA said it
was “a stake through the heart
of the economy”..
The Government was forced
into action oyer the M25by the
volume of traffic using ft for
access to Heathrow and
Gatwick airports. Dr
Mawhinney said he was set¬
ting up a cross-departmtet
group ..of officials diairedviy
Steve Norris, foie Minister for
Transport in London, to ex¬
plore developing better road
and rail links with the air¬
ports. This could include rail¬
way stations with check-in
facilities next to motorways
leading into foe capital. '

MARTIN GILBERT, the

nying the Prime Minister to
Washington, is a one-man
university. His life’s work has
been the official biography of
Winston ChurduBL which
took three decades to com¬
plete. Even if that magnum
opus were to be disregarded.
Gilbert. 58, could be vievwd
as one of the leading histori¬
ans of his generation.
A precocious undergradu¬
ate. Gilbert owed much to
AJ.P. Taylor's tutorials at
Magadaien College. Oxford,
in the 1950s. After national
service, be became a fdkm of
Merton College in 1962 and
has remained one since. Al¬
though he has held many vis¬
iting chairs, he has never
beta primarily an academic
historian, preferring to work
from home in Oxford or
north London. In 1963 he
published his first (much
acclaimed) book. The Ap¬
peasers, written jointly with
Richard Gotti later of The
Guardian.
At about tins time,' Gilbert
became one of several re*

about Bus period, such as the
occasion when Jo nathan Ait¬
ken — then an Oxford under¬
graduate. now Chief Secre¬
tary to the Treasury— was
put forward by Randolph to

local MP died, with the
C hnrrhiTl research. team
ordered to canvass for him. It
turned out foal Aitken was
too young to rit as an MP;
instead be. became private
secretary to Sdwyn UoyxL
After Randolph amrehUTs
premature death, Gilbert was
appointed official biogra¬
pher of Winston Churchill in
1968. In that year he pub¬
lished volume three of the
fife, die first to be entirety his
work Gilbert maintained an
Olympian neutrality towards
his snbjecti but his deep
sympathy was evident from
the first.
He quickened foe pace of a
project that was in danger of
grinding to a haft, but it took
until 1988 — by which time be
had published another five
volumes, together with doz¬
ens of companion volumes of
documents—before the ma&
magiste rial biography of
modem times was complete.
Since then, he .has written a.
short one-volume fife of
Churchill and rebutted at¬
tempts by revisionist bistofc
arts to undermine Churchills
reputation.
Meanwhile. Gilbert had
published several imp ressive
works of scholarship quite
apart from his best-known
specialism. He Is a leading
authority on the Nazi ex te r¬

peared in 1985. Since 1989, he
las also published (to much
acclaim) his histories of the

written many works on-the

Gilbert's books have been
criticised for leaving out his
own voice; his defence is that

Doctor accuses
midwives of
wrecking career
By a Staff Reporter
Mudiame Giwa-Osagie is suing two midwives who alleged sexual harassment
THE career of a Nigerian
gynaecologist was “ship¬
wrecked on the rocks by the
spile and malice" of ruo
midwives who faisciy accused
him of sexual harassment, foe
High Court was told
jiesterday.
Mudiame Giwa-Osagie. 41.
who was training in obstetrics
and gynaecology, blames a
conspiracy of racial prejudice
for being dumped from his job
because of the “lies” of foe two
women. Ronald Thwai te*.
QC. for Dr Giwa-Osngie. said
the doctor denied any miscon¬
duct and was seektog dam¬
ages for h'bel or slander from
Sally Hall and Sharron
Smithson, and from Doncas¬
ter Health Authority, which
suspended him from his job as
an acting registrar at Doncas¬
ter Roval Infirman in Decem¬
ber 1990.
Mr Thwaites said that Dr
Giwa-Osagie. of Waltham¬
stow. east London, was an
innocent man who had been
"terribly wronged by these
women". He had been unable
to complete his training or get
a job as a doctor because the
entire medical world had
closed him out. his counsel
said.
“We say he has been
shipwrecked on the rocks of.
spile and malice." Mr
Thwaites added that Dr Giwa-
Osagie? only crime was that
"his face, his black face, no
longer fined".
In December 1990. Mrs
Hall daimed. first verbally
then in a written statement.
that Dr Giwa-Osagie got into
a lift with her when she was on
night shift and asked if she
was pregnant. She alleged he
rubbed her stomach ana then
moved his hand down to heT
groin.
Dr Giwa-Osagie denied
brine in the lift with Mrs Hall,
but "admitted that he did
remark on her size and patted
her stomach to offer con¬
gratulations.
He look both Mrs Hall and
foe hospital authorities to an
industrial tribunal on foe
ground of racial discrimina¬
tion after he was suspended.
The claim against Mr? Hall,
of Doncaster, was dismissed.
But in September 1992 foe
hospital was ordered by the
Sheffield Tribunal to pay Dr
Giwa-Osagie £7.500 damages.
In January 1991 foe second
midwife. Miss Smithson, com¬
plained that Dr Giwa-Osagie
had told her she was so small
he could fit her in his pocket.
She claimed he took her hand
and rubbed it up and down his
back pocket. Dr Giwa-Osagie
claims this allegation is “mali¬
cious fiction"
Mr Thwaites told Mr Jus¬
tice Drake that the sexual
harassment allegations, had
triggered a conspiracy against
his client. He told the court
that the health authority had
now trawled the country for
“tittle tattle" from previous
staff, and produced supposed
evidence of incidents where
Dr Grwa-Osagie had sexually
harassed other women.

extremely sensitive. "If they ever
have some criticism they always
have a letter published the next
day." She said, however, that the
four-tetter word that had “everyone
foiling out of their chair” at the
ceremony was over the top.
Sheifo Gish applauded Slattery's
performance: "I loro Tony Slattery.
I’ve seldom laughed so much. He
certainly got a kn of sympathy. I
think every actor feds helpless in
the teeth of critics. You can never
answer back, should you want to.

spoke. She lamented the absence of
a critic such as Kenneth Tynan.
Some of today's critics "sometimes
write as if something’s the God-
given truth rather than their opin¬
ion. As an actor, you hare to be
terribly sanguine about them."
Slattery was unrepentant: “I was
joking, to get a laugh straight
away. But I believe everything I
said." He spoke of his distaste for
critics who leave before the end of a
play. Nicholas de Jongh. of the
Evening Standard, whom Slattery

Peter Hepple, consultant editor

on Paton was quite slanderous, and
those on the other critics were
“jokes in bad taste — a startling
way to stan off the c\ening, even

Pay-by-the-day plan to raise £20m for civil courts
> & -Uv;
Lord Mackay: hearing fee
PEOPLE using the civil courts
will face huge fee rises in the next
few months to raise an extra £20
million towards running the
courts service including the cost
of the judges. The financial target,
to be raised by a new “pay by the
day" or hearing fee instead of the
present oneoff fee for issuing
proceedings, was announced at
the launch of the courts in
England and Wales as an execu¬
tive agency yesterday.
New fee levels, which could be
as much os £500 a day for die
High Court and £200 a day in the
county court will probably be
announced next month when
Lord Woolf, the law lord, publish¬
es his report into civil justice.
The higher fees are part of the
Government's policy to make the
civil courts self-fin anting and to
reduce the costs that fall on the
■ The Law Society fears that proposals to
make the civil courts self-financing, by
replacing the one-off fee, may adversely affect
access to justice. Frances Gibb reports
taxpayer. At the same time, the
number of judges in the civil
courts are expected to rise by 76
from 1993-94 to 1997-98. The
number of High Court judges will
remain at 95 but the number of
circuit judges will increase from
509 to 545 and district judges from
289 to 329.
Yesterday Lord Mackay of
Clashfem the Lord Chancellor,
said he was keen to “introduce a
daily hearing fee where courts are
being used for long trial periods”
However, he dismissed sugges¬
tions that the courts were being
run as a business. There was “no
question whatever” of that. Lord
Mackay said.
He said that the policy of
recovering the costs of the civil
courts from litigants had “long
been the policy of successive
governments” and he believed it
right in principle. Lord Mackay
added that where there was a
subsidy of the courts system by
the taxpayer, it was nght this
should be identified so that tax¬
payers could consider “whether
that is a reasonable subsidy for
them to bear" and whether it is
"wise and necessary." The new fee
charges will tie in closely with
Lord Woolfs proposals for speed¬
ing up civil justice, including' a
fast-track system for simpler cases
where there is a cap on the
amount of legal costs the parties
can recover.
In particular, there are likety to.
be scales of fees for court actions,
with companies and large corpo¬
rate court users being charged
more than individual litigants:
and longer cases, which run to
more than a set period of time
incurring much bigger hearing
fees than short cases.
Yesterday Michael Huebner,
chief executive of the new agency,
which is called the Court Service,
said that no decisions had been
taken about the level of fees
although this coming financial
year the target was to recover 75
per cent of the costs of running the
courts. The agency’s budget for
1995-96 is £627 million.
Mr Huebner said it was a
question of getting the nght
balance so that people were not -
deterred from using the courts.
The aim was'to move towards.,
recovering tile full cods of th erivil
courts, including the judges, from
fees charged to litigants. This
financial year the target was to
raise £20 million but that would
still leave a £30 million to £40
million shortfall, which is subsi¬
dised by the taxpayer.
Mr Huebner said that apart
from moving to “full costs recov¬
ery” in the dvfl courts, the other
challenge was to improve stan¬
dards In the courts service.
The Uw Society yesterday said
that economy was the driving
force behind the agenda of the
Court Service and that Treasury
requirements might “take priority
over access M. and quafity at
justice", it welcomed the aims of
improving standards to the public
and cutting waiting times .for
hearings and trials.
The society said that this year
court fees would cover 75 per cent
of costs compared with 60 percent
last year. Staff would also be cut
by 10 per cent over two years.
Philip Sycamore, chairman of
thecivfl litigation committee, said:
“If the effect of the agency is to
make the court service more
efficient and businesslike, that isa
good tiling. I remain concerned
that the pressure to be sdf-
financing through increased court
fees may adversely affect access to
justice." •

Oriana’s owners lament decline of a great tradition as German-built liner arrives
Pride of the

her nose at
Britain’s
shipyards

ORIANA
Four deck atrium
AS P&O's .sleek new cruise
liner Oriana glided into
Southampton yesterday, she
seemed almost to be thumbing
her nose at Britain’s rusty
shipyards. A military band
struck up “Rule, Britannia!":
given the German-built ship's
breathtaking statistics, a mel¬
ody based on Vorsprung
durch Technik might have
been more suitable.
“Of course we have regrets
that it's not British-built,”
sighed Lord Sterling of
Pfaistow. the chairman of
P&O. "Nothing would have
given me and this company
greater pleasure than to have
mwa
Commodore Ian Gibb
taken delivery of this ship
from Scotland or Tyneside.
But I am afraid the capability
of building ships of this kind
went out here 20 years ago."
The new flagship of the
British passenger fleet comes
bedecked with superlatives.
With a gross tonnage of 69.000
tons, the Oriana just exceeds
in size the QE2. at 65.S63 tons,
and so becomes Britain's larg¬
est passenger ship.
She may not be the largest
ship to fly the Red Duster (the
old Queen Elizabeth was that)
or the fastest cruise liner (she
is left behind by the QE2 and
the Canberra) but she leaves
nothing in the imagination.
She cost £200 million, and
with a cruising speed of 25
knots, is the fastest liner built
in the past 25years. P&O says.
She is powered by four
diesel engines developing a
total of 78,000 brake horse¬
power. driving two huge nick¬
el aluminium bronze propel¬
lers. each 19ft in diameter. The
engines consume about S8.9
gallons of fuel an hour.
” About 15,000 tons of steel
were used in her construction.
She is 853ft long, 106ft wide
and has a draft of 26ft. She has
two underwater stabilisers,
like submerged aircraft wings,
which are 21 square feet in
area, the largest fined to a

British Psychological Society conference
Patient’s sex is no barrier against
seduction on the therapist’s couch
By Jeremy Lalrance, health services correspondent
THE stereotype of a middle-
aged male therapist seducing
his young female patients is
misleading, psychologists re¬
ported yesterday.
One in 25 therapists admirs
to having had a sexual rela¬
tionship with a patient but a
third of the therapists are
women. Professional organ¬
isations forbid such relation¬
ships and therapists who
transgress face beins struck
off.
Results from a national
survey of >81 clinical psycholo¬
gists who returned an anony¬
mous questionnaire found
that 20 confessed to having
been sexually involved with
their clients, five with clients of
their own sex Eight therapists
said they had had only a single
sexual encounter with the
client, but four had continued
the relationship for more than
five years and some had
married.
However, in two thirds of
the cases sexual involvement
began only after the patient
had been discharged by the
therapist. In some cases the
therapists discharged patients
so they cuuld be free io have
sex with them.
Tanya Garrett, clinical psy¬
chologist at Walsall Commun¬
ity Health Trust, who
presented the results to the
conference, said: “In the
overwhelming majority of
cases it is very damaging to
(he patients and has led to
suicides.
“Being in a position of
power a therapist can influ¬
ence a person to do things they
might not otherwise do'. They
are the ones with all the
knowledge about the patient's
difficulties. They are exploit¬
ing a position of trust.”
Miss Garrett said: “Psy¬
chologists need training in
how to deal with cases where
patients are sexually attracted
to them or vice versa. If a
patient makes advances the
therapist should not act on
them but should discuss them
within the context of the pro¬
fessional relationship." Last
year there were 100 allega¬
tions of sexual impropriety
against therapists, according
to the British Psychological
Society.
Since 1989. i8 therapists
have faced disciplinary char¬
ges relating to having had sex
with patients. Seven of those
accused were struck off and
five had other action taken
against them. Two cases were
unproven and four are still
under investigation.
In some states in America,
professional rules forbid ther¬
apists from ever entering rela¬
tionships with a former
patient, but others insist on
there being a cooling-off per¬
iod of two vears.
Parent power leads to expulsions
By Jeremy Lal rance
DEMANDS from parents for tighter
discipline in schools have led to a sharp
increase in ihe number of pupils expelled.
Up to 10.000 difficult children a year
are ejected as schools polish their images
to attract pupils. A study of 105 schools in
Essex shows the number of pupils
permanently excluded doubled between
1992-93 and” 1993-94 from 111 to 213.
Despite the rise, there was no evidence
that children had become more disrup¬
tive. Andre lmich, education psychologist
with Essex education authority, said the
reason for the increase was parental
pressure. "It is a stressful time for schools.
They are under pressure to attract
children - customers — and demonstrat¬
ing that they have a strong disciplinary’
system can lie a powerful attraction for
parent*. - he said.
The results, presented to the annual
conference ol the British Psychological
Society at the University’ of Warwick,
show children have a I in 500 chance of
being expelled. Provisional figures for
Essex showed a further 40 per cent rise in
expulsions since Education Department
guidelines intended to reverse the trend
look effect.
The expelled children were nor evenly
distributed across all 105 schools. One
quarter of the schools were responsible
for three quarters of the expulsions. Two
thirds of the children were excluded for
being constantly disruptive or displaying
unacceptable behaviour.
A school's tendency to exclude pupils
was not related to social deprivation but it
was connected to the way the school dealt
with problem children." Schools with a
strong pastoral system in which teachers
were involved in managing disruptive
behaviour excluded fewer pupils than
those in which the problems were passed
up to the head teacher.
Mr lmich said expulsion meant broken
friendships, lower self-esteem and poorer
educational performance. When the pu¬
pils go to a new school they are regarded
as naughty children whom the others look
to for trouble, establishing a cycle of
disruptive behaviour, he said.

Accidents
on roads
cost £8bn
a year
By Jonathan Pkynn
ROAD accidents cost the
British taxpayer more than
£8 billion a year, enough to
build the Channel Tunnel
rail link three times over or
fund 50 by-passes, according
to RAC figures.
The total which includes
the cost of emergency service
call-outs, hospital and health
care for victims and damage
to roads, exceeds the entire
£6 billion annual budget of
the Department of Trans¬
port It is also six times
bigger than the Govern¬
ment's E13> billion roads
programme.
If the annual £5 billion
insurance bill for accident
repairs is also taken into
account the figure rises to
more than £13 billion or
about 2 per cent of the gross

While road deaths fell last ;
year to a 69-year low of 3.651.
the total number of injuries
through accidents has been
rising steadily, particularly
for pedestrians, cyclists and

Carey calls for
revival of moral
responsibility
By Ruth Gledhill, religion correspondent -
PEOPLE must be held respon¬
sible for their actions and their
wrongdoings should be pun¬
ished. the Archbishop of Can¬
terbury' says today.
Dr George Carey, appeal¬
ing for society to embrace "the
biblical concept of justice",
says the trend towards a more
lawless, amoral society can be
reversed, but “with God’s
help". He giv es a warning that
secularisation will result in
more lawlessness, in a "jungle
of moral relativism", and says
his most important task is to
bring people back to a faith in
a loving God.
Dr Carey, writing in April's
Policing Today, the official
journal of the Association of
Chief Police Officers of Eng¬
land. Wales and Northern
Ireland, says that it becomes
clear that “civilisation itself is
under threat" once confidence
in the trustworthiness of those
who maintain law and order
disappears. He says parents
need more encouragement to
make moral discipline part of
their children's framework of
growing up.
Dr Carey, the first clergy¬
man to contribute io Policing
Today, says: “If we lose the
trust of those whom we serve,
our authority is grievously
undermined. This 1 realise
applies as much to the Church
as to any other institution.”
Speaking generally, the Arch¬
bishop continues: “When a
clergyman falls to live up to
the standards of his ordina¬
tion. the whole Church is
damaged. This also applies to
the police service.”
Dr Carey says that a good
society will encourage every¬
one to do what is good and
right. He says: “People must
be held responsible for their
actions.
“Wrongdoing needs to be
named, acknowledged, appro¬
priately punished and atoned
for. not swept under the carpet
and forgotten. That is part of
the biblical concept of justice. ■
Mercy may temper it but not
replace it”
He says the police and
Church attempt to do their
work in the face of increasing
criticism and scepticism.
"Both police and clergy are
often left to pick up the pieces
caused by wider social failures
— and are both often blamed
for them."
To build a responsible soci¬
ety. there had to be individual
moral responsibility, but in¬
justice and abuses of power in
society also had to be eliminat¬
ed, Unking crime io social
deprivation and poverty,
the Archbishop argues that
every policeman knows the
truth of the saying: The devil
finds work for idle hands to
do."
Dr Carey says: “The way in
which a block of flats, for
exapple. is designed can
make , a big difference-to the
amount of vandalism, mug¬
ging and other crimes likely to
take place there.”

Bread rises ^
Britain’s two biggest bread
manufacturers have increased
their recommended prices for
die first time in three years.,
raising the cost of a mass-
produced loaf by up to 4p to
between 75p and 79p. How¬
ever. Allied Bakeries and Brit¬
ish Bakeries conceded that till
prices were a matter for retail- -
ers. Some big stores sell bread
for as little as 19p.
Lamppost check
Two thousand lampposts in
Gateshead, Tyne and Wear,
are being checked after one
crushed to death a 39-year-old
motorist in his van and
another narrowly missed mo- ■
torway traffic after falling

at Dunston. Council officials
are examining possible corro¬
sion of the metal lampposts by
road salt.

8 POLITICS AND GOVERNMENT
THE TIMES TUESDAY APRIL-41995
Panorama interview reveals Prime Minister’s growing scepticism
Britain’s independence
conies first, says Major
By Nicholas Wood, chief political correspondent
THE Government would re¬
ject a single currency if it
threatened Britain's standing
as an independent nation
state. John Major said last
night, signalling his deepen¬
ing scepticism about economic
and monetary union.
“If I had to choose ... If I
thought it would damage the
nation state I would choose the
nation state. That is the
position of the Conservative
Party...
“1 f anything were to damage
the nation state, it would not
be for this country. We would
not do anything that would
damage the nation state."
The Prime Ministers com¬
ments came in his BBC Pan¬
orama interview as he was
pressed by David Dimbleby to
say whether he agreed with
Kenneth Clarke, the Chancel¬
lor. that a single currency
would not lead to political
union. Sidestepping the direct
question. Mr Major defended
his decision to keep open the
option of Britain joining a
single currency towards the
end of the century. He said
that h was impossible to know
what the circumstances might
be around 1999 — the earliest
practical starting date.
The critical question of
whether a single currency
would destroy Britain as a
nation state hinged on what
control the country would
have over iL “How is the
single currency going to be
controlled? What is the input
of the British Parliament? To
what extent is money policy
going to be held abroad?
There are a whole range of
questions. As yet we don’t
have the answer to those
questions, so one can form a
judgment cm suppositions, but
we don’t know the answers yet
"No one has ever said that
we can give a guarantee there
will never be a single currency
... We have said we will look
at what is in the British
national interest, if and when
the circumstance arises, and
we will make a judgment then
and. at that stage, we will also
consider whether it might be
appropriate to have a
referendum."
CXECAITi^PAY:
Mr Major said that people
had been against the windfall
gains received by the directors
of privatised utilities. “Now
that’s happened — the horse
has got out of that particular
stable. But I think we need to
look at it for the future."
He went on: “It is the
business of the shareholders
and what I think well may
happenb at the end of the day
us thgat we will actually look
at shareholders’ powers. 1
think that may well be one of
the things that comes out of
the Greenbury Committee.”
The till that the directors had
helped themselves out of was
the shareholders’ till. It would
not make a halfpenny of
difference to the public. He
made plain that the Govern¬
ment would learn from what
had happened in the utilities
as it proceeded with rail
privatisation.
Mr Major said the growth
of the last year produced a
“feel-good" factor for the
600,000 unemployed who
found jobs. “What has not
happened yet is that people
are not feeling the fruits of
growth back in their incomes."
Nothing, he said, would do
more good for the “feel-good"
factor than Britain beginning
to outperform many of its
rivals. Putting Britain in a
position to compete and win
up to the millennium and
beyond had some uncomfort¬
able sideeffiects ... The old
“feel-good" factor was based
on lots more money in people's
pockets, often more than was
John Major In bis television interview with Jonathan Dimbleby last night
tor the economy, and
prices soaring way
above the rate of inflation.
“Those things often did create
an artiBcal fed-good factor but
it was often the prelude to one
hell of a hangover the next
day." The next time it would
not have that old artificial
feeling.
Challenged about his poor
standing in the opinion polls,
he said: “I earned; to stay here
leading the Conservative Par¬
ty right up .to tbe election and
through the election and I
expect that we will win that
election."
He said that the present
growth was "not just a casual
recovery" and that his eco¬
nomic policies were designed

American
workfare
under
scrutiny
By Arthur Deathley
POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT
A COMMONS investigation
of American workfare - next
week is likely to inflame the
debate over prospects for a
similar scheme in Britain.
A team of MPS will travel to
America next weekend to
study the effects of workfare,
in which unemployed people
have to work for state benefits.
Right-wing ministers are keen
to adopt the idea.
The visit to New York,
Washington and New Jersey
by tiie Cfomriu^ Employment
Select Co mm ittee is expected
to lead! id a-showdown be¬
tween the MPS and Michael
Portillo, the Employment Sec¬
retary, who is a leading sup-
poter of workfare. • v b -: e . -
'"However, Labour commit¬
tee members believe that pilot
schemes being considered by
Mr Portillo and Peter Lflley,
the Social Security Secretory,
are very different from those
run in America. They fear that
the planned British version
would be a negative system
without tiie job guarantees
made in America.
The Il-strong committee, led
by Greville Janner. its Labour
chairman, will visit schemes
in New Jersey and will meet
leading welfare experts and
politicians in Washington.
Mr LUky is understood to
be keen to extend tire trial
schemes operated in Norfolk.
When he gave evidence to the
committee in January, how¬
ever. he was reluctant to spell
out his plans and warned MPs
that the costs of a national
progamme might be prohibi¬
tive. Pilot schemes in areas in
selected areas of unemploy¬
ment are another option.
Mr Portillo, who is expected
to be directly responsible, will
be pressed to outline his
proposals when he gives evi¬
dence to the committee, probar
bly next month.
MPs told
of MoD
‘sting’
theory
By Nigel Williamson,
WHITEHALL CORRESPONDENT
GORDON FOXLEY, the for¬
mer Ministry of Defence
official convicted of a
£13 million fraud, was prob¬
ably involved in a “sting”
from which the companies
dial bribed him received
no benefit, MPs were told
yesterday.
Foxley was convicted in
1993 on 12 counts of receiving 1 ,
c orrup t payments from face
companies:. Gebruder Jwsg-
hans of Germany, Fraidti
Borlciti of Italy and Rmfes
of Norway. , .
Bat Dr Maloom McIntosh,
chief of procurement in the
MoD, fold tiie PubticfcAc-
counts Committee that mere
was no evidence that Foxley
had been able fat influence
contracts in tiie companies'
favour. Foxley vyas probably
involved “In one. of the big: 1
gest stings we have seen in
some time”, be said.
As a result of the Foxley
case, and 190 other cases of
alleged procurement fraud
over the past ten years, many
MoD officials' had been
moved to other duties. Ibedb
included most officials with,
power, and influence .over
contracts who had hdd tile
same job for more than five
years.
Dr McIntosh admitted that
tiie Foxley fraud should have
ben detected earlier. It-but
been known at an early stage
that Foxley was living wdf
beyond me galaxy of an?
official at his level, but fittie;
suspicion was aroused*
because his wife was thought,
to have independent means!' .
MoD officials were stiff
pursuing tire Case but had
been unable to gain access to
some of the Swiss bank
accounts that Foxley used. Dr
McIntosh said that the true.:
extent of the fraud nriftit
never be known.
Ministers praised
for pools boost
By Alice Thomson, political reporter
to grounds, and the Founda¬
tion for Sport and the Arts.
Hilary Armstrong (Lab,
Durham North West)warned
ministers that the pools com¬
panies might come under
threat again. “1 hope that the
Government will beep a very
dose eye on this. The British
public will be horrified if the
lottery company makes such
excessive profits while chari¬
ties are seen to be jailing
because of the activities of the
lottery."
Lady Olga Maitland (C.
Sutton and Cheam) said that
giving the money back to tbe
pools companies was like
throwing a lifebelt to a drown¬
ing man. This move has new
given them a chance to re¬
group, replan and hopefully
move into more fortunate
times."
THE Government's belated
decision to cut pods betting
duty was welcomed in the
Commons last night as a
critical boost for an industry
hit badly by the National
Lottery.
From next month pools
companies will have their tax
cut from 37.5 per cent to 32-5
per cent — worth about £30

Secret KGB letters
‘solve’ the riddle
of Hitler’s bones
THE riddle of Hitler’s bones,
for years the source of morbid
fascination, appears to have
been solved by the discovery of
secret correspondence be¬
tween Yuri Andropov, the
late KGB chief, and Leonid
Brezhnev.
According to Der Spiegel.
the remains of Hitler, his
mistress Eva Braun, his pro¬
paganda chief Joseph Goeb-
bels and the Goebbels family,
were taken from the Nazi
leadership's Berlin bunker
and buried in Magdeburg. In
the spring of 1970. Andropov,
apparently afraid that the
bones might one day be an
object of neo-Nazi pilgrimage,
ordered that the old ammuni¬
tion boxes containing the re¬
mains be taken to a Soviet
tank and artillery training
ground. There they were
burnt
The reason for the move was
that the original burial place
was about to be handed over
to the East Germans. Andro¬
pov's handwritten notes sug¬
gest that the KGB chairman
(and later Soviet leader) was
deeply nervous about Ger¬
many. Ostpolitik and the new
intimacy between East and
West German leaders.
Willy BrandL then Chancel-
From Roger Bores rrv bonn
lor of West Germany, had
recently visited Erfurt and
was greeted by cheers and
loud applause from East Ger¬
mans. Restless Germans and
the sudden discovery of Hit¬
ler's body could have added
up to an unpredictable mix¬
ture in the view of Andropov
and of Vladimir Kryuchkov,
his head of Cabinet who was
later to emerge as one of the
plotters against Mikhail
Gorbachev.
Brezhnev agreed that Hit¬
ler's body should be destroyed.
In the middle of the night of
April 4. 1970. Soviet soldiers
erected a tent over the un¬
marked grave and five KGB
* officers dug up the boxes. The
five decaying improvised cof¬
fins were driven away and
burnt. The Der Spiegel story
is well-supported by docu¬
ments and by the evidence of
Mr Kryuchkov, who is now a
pensioner living in Moscow.
There was always a hint of
mystery about Hitler's last
resting-place, if only because it
was dear that Stalin did not
quite believe in the death of the
Nazi leader. The Russians had
liberated the Berlin bunker
and had captured the most
useful witnesses, including
Johann Rartenhuver. Hitler's
bodyguard, SS adjutant Otto
Gunsche, Hans Baur, his
pilot, and Katarina Heuser-
mann. a dental assistant
In an effort to give Stalin a
definitive verdict on Hitters
death, they were interrogated
for almost a year. James
O'Donnell, author of The Ber¬
lin Bunker, witnessed the
return to Berlin of these and
other witnesses in the summer
of 1946. By Stalin's order all
Ihe members of the Hitler
entourage in Soviet captivity
were forced to re-enact the last
hours of Hitler's life. The
performance was filmed.
Later all the German cap¬
tives were flown back to the
Soviet Union and sent to
different labour camps. The
Western allies also had wit¬
nesses from the last days in
the bunker, but their story,
although convincingly pieced
together by Hugh Trevor-
Roper. was incomplete. Der
Spiegel says it has found the
last piece of the jigsaw.
Half a century on, German
neo-Nazis are planning to
disrupt the fiftieth anniversa¬
ry commemoration of the end
of the Second World War and
have called on all right-wing
extremists to launch a “civil
war" on foreign and Jewish

we could even break through
to 20 per cent” an optimistic
M Le Fan told The Times as he
consented to be questioned by
a British newspaper on
French televison. With his
famous mix of blue-eyed
charm and physical menace,
M Le Pen noted that foreign
correspondents would be ex¬
empted from his plan to pitch
three million non-French out
of the country in the interests
of preserving Gallic jobs and
racial purity.
At 66 and after four decades
on the unsavoury side of
French politics, the pugna¬
cious M Le Fen is revelling in
his status as a candidate with
clout whose favour will count
especially in the event of a
showdown in the second
round run-off between the
duelling GauJLists Jacques
Chirac and Edouard Ball-
adur. the Prime Minister. For
the moment, however, M Le
Pen will have none of either,
nor of Lionel Jospin, the
Socialist, as he tours the
country railing at the estab¬
lishment clique which he says
is leading France to destruc¬
tion from abroad and from
within through corruption
and the spread of Aids. This
is just a contest between a
bunch of Enanjues ," said M
Le Fm. referring to the first
French race monopolised by
graduates of the Ecole
Nationale de rAdministra¬
tion, the nursery of the techno¬
crat elite. “They all hail from
the bureaucracy they spend
their time denouncing while
France is going to the dogs."
M Le Fen. whose party
scored ll per cent in the
European elections last year
after peaking in the mid-1980s,
owes his new wind to a
coincidence of factors. He is
benefiting from disillusion¬
ment with all the mainstream
candidates and anxiety among
shopkeepers, artisans and the
unemployed young in the face
of France's social crisis. He
has been helped by the exclu¬
sion of Bernard -Tapie. the
populist tycoon, now bank¬
rupt. who appeals to a similar
public, especially in the south.
He is also being helped by new
rules which force the television
networks that long ostracised
him. to give him air tune in
proportion to his supporL
AJso helping him is a
mellowing of the public perso¬
na. No longer the fire-breath-
Edouard Balladur. the French Prime Minister, is
welcomed to an “overseas festival” in Paris
trig provocateur surrounded
by bully-boys, M Le Fen. a
former paratroop officer, has
polished his powerful ora tort
skills, casting himself as a
common man who voices
ideas that are normally only
heard in the comer bistro. “At
least I have lived a real life."
he said, referring to his origins
as the son of a Breton trawler-
man killed in the war. The
others say they have suffered
when they have spent the day
on the ski slopes and done
without lunch."
If M Le Fen has failed to
shed his sulphurous image
and win the respectability
accorded in Italy to Gian¬
franco Flni and his National
Alliance, it is because his
message still remains one of
raw xenophobia. Preaching a
nostalgic gospel with echoes of
the anti-Semitism of the 1930s.
he blames foreigners for tak¬
ing French jobs and for crime.
Aids and drug abuse. He
promises to expel three million
immigrants and instate a “nat¬
ional preference” which wUI
give employment to those of
French blood. “The subject is
taboo for the other candi¬
dates." he tells cheering
crowds. “It's politically incor¬
rect so they rush ahead into a
vague idea of Europe and the
wiping out of France without
knowing what is going to
replace it"
M Le Pen's efforts to rival
tire front-runners have been
doited by his reaction to the
shooting'of a schoolboy from
the Comoros islands by Nat¬
ional Front campaign workers
near Marseilles. Refusing to
condemn their act on Sunday,
he told a crowd of4.000 at Aix-
en-Provence that at least it had
alerted France to the feet that
there were 125,000 Comorans
now in the country.

Italian doctors ban ‘granny-mum’ births
From John Phillips
IN ROME
ITALIAN doctors who enable
post-menopausal women to
undergo artifical pregandes
may be struck off under a new
mde of ethics introduced by
Italy's Order of Doctors yes¬
terday in a response to the
Pope’s latest encyclical
The code also bans rent-a-
Aomb births, artifical procre¬
ation for lesbians and
ns emi nation with sperm from
a dead donor. The Italian
Catholic Bishops' Conference
said yesterday that it was
pleased with the derision tak¬
en by the national council of
the Order of Doctors meeting
in Florence. It came after the
publication by the Vatican last
week of the encyclical
Evangelium Vitae (The Gos¬
pel of Life) in which the Pope
said mankind was in the
middle of a dramatic dash
between “the culture of death
and the culture of life" and
reiterated Church leaching
against genetic engineering
and test-tube babies. The
move, which was welcomed
by politicians across the spec¬
trum. outraged Severino
Antinori. the Italian doctor
who has pioneered techniques
of artificially induced preg¬
nancy for elderly women, in¬
cluding some who have come
from Britain to benefit From
Italy's legislative vacuum on
many controversial bio-ethical
issues.
Dr Antinori said, “l will go
forward all the same. This is a
Nazi-Maoist edict"
Under the derision Italian
doctors will face disciplinary
measures, ultimately includ¬
ing being struck off, if they
participate in “practices of
assisted fertilisation for
women in n on-precocious
menopause".
The age of 50 is set as an
average limit to artificial preg¬
nancies of this kind, to avoid
creating more mamme-nonne
(granny-mums) such as
Uliana Cantadori. who be¬
came the first woman in Italy
to give birth at 61. Last year a
63-year-old woman treated by
Dr Antinori, Rosanna Della
Corte. gave birth to a son,
Riccardo.

Russians develop
torpedo propelled
By Michael Evans, defence correspondent
THE Russians are developing
a rocket-powered torpedo,
oodenamed Shkval (or squall),
which can travel underwater
at 3X) knots (226mpb). sur¬
rounded fay a vacuum bag.
Design work for this new
concept in underwater missile
technology is being carried out
at the Moscow Sergo Ordzho¬
nikidze Aviation Institute, ac¬
cording to Jane’s Intelligence
Review in a newsletter to be
published this month.
Under the normal laws of
hydrodynamics, it would be
virtually impossible to achieve
such velocity because of the
drag of the seawater, Robert
Hall, editor of the Jane’s
newsletter, said yesterday. He
said, however, that the hydro¬
aerospace systems depart¬
ment of the institute in
Moscow appeared to have
overcome the problem fay
eliminating the torpedo’s
"physical contact with the
water”.
A member of the institute
has described the new weapon
as an "underwater missile
which in motion is in a so-
called vacuum bag that is
underwater but not in the
water”. Mr. Hall said ft was
possible that the vacuum bag
ought be a low-pressure gas
envelope. "One method might
be to eject streams erf high¬
speed bubbles from the haul
of the torpedo, although this
would require a large
pressurised gas cylinder with¬
in the torpedo," he said. The
West’s latest models can go no
fester than 60 knots.
The Shkval torpedo was
mentioned in the latest edition
of Military Parade, a defence
procurement brochure. There
was also a reference on Mos¬
cow television last June to an
underwater missile that could
travel at up to TOO metres a
second".
Richard Sharpe, editor of
Jane’s Fighting Ships, doubt¬
ed whether the torpedo would
become operational. He said ft
would go through the water
"like a banshee", making so
much noise that it would be
relatively easy for a targeted
ship to take evasive action.
The Russians have devel¬
oped a torpedo that guides
itself by homing in on the
wake of a surface warship. It
approaches its target by zig¬
zagging across the sea. That
torpedo is in service and is
believed to have been sold to
the Iranians.

Farmer’s field-day on Falklands is historic mission
A DEER Farmer, a property develop¬
er, a hairdresser and a hypnotist are
among more than 200 part-time
soldiers currently responsible for
guarding the Falkland Islands (Mich¬
ael Evans writes).
Eight-thousand miles away from
their normal jobs, the 214 members of
a Territorial Army infantry company
group have completed the first month
of an historic four-month mission. It is
the first folly operational deployment
of a TA company. Under the com¬
mand of Major Adrian Walton, a deer
fanner in civilian life. dieTA soldiers
are responsible for providing the
ground defence of the South Atlantic
islands against a repeat invasion by
Argentina.
Although the Falklands’ garrison
includes soldiers from the regular
Army, they have other roles such as
mine clearance, signals, transport and
logistics. It is the first time that the TA
and not a regular infantry company,
has been pot in charge of guarding the
Falkland Islands.
Major Walton said yesterday that
the presence of the Territorials in the
Falklands did not mean Britain was
"downplaying" the role of the militaiy
in the South Atlantic He said: "It is
important that the islanders don't see
it as a down-valuing. This releases
other troops for tasks like Bosnia. This
is a particularly arduous posting. It is
not money for old rope." Tbe part-time
soldiers, recruited mainly fro® TA
unite in the northwest of England, the
Midlands and Wales, go out on
regular patrols and live at the formida¬
ble Mount Pleasant garrison about 30
miles from Port Stanley, the capital.
They strived last month, and their
presence in the Falklands is part of the
Ministry of Defence's plan to give
Britain's reserve forces an expanded
role.

A Florida Mariins replacement, brought in because of foe strike, leaves the team stadium
Baseball season is saved
but loyalty of fans falters
From Ben Maciniyre in new vork
AMERICAN baseball has re¬
turned from the dead after foe
longest, most expensive and
ugliest strike In foe history of
professional sport
On Sunday Major League
Baseball Owners accepted the
players* offer to return to
work after a strike lasting 234
days and announced that the
season would start 24 days
late, on April 26. The strike
has cost an estimated $800
ntillian (£490 miffian), but the
expense in terms of damaged
public enthusiasm for Ameri¬
ca’s national pastime is
incalculable.
Flayers such as Bobby
Bonilla, of the New York
Mets. who earned an estimat¬
ed $63 million before foe
strike, can begin restoring
their fortunes, as can the
baseball owners, but rebuild¬
ing the confidence of miflions
of enraged fans wffl take far
longer.
The strike, which began on
August 12, wiped out the
baseball World Series for the
first time in 90 years, white
fens watched in disbelief and
increasing fury the unappeal¬
ing spectacle erf “a few hun¬
dred folks trying to figure out
how to divide nearly $2 bil¬
lion", tn the words of Presi¬
dent Clinton.
For fens already angered by
high ticket prices and the
mnltimfflkairfionar salaries
doled out to baseball stars, the
greed shown by both sides
during foe strike was the last
straw.
The strike ended when the
owners accepted an offer by
the players’ union to go back:
to work without a collective
bargaining agreement, leav¬
ing open the possibility of
another strike later in the
season if foe owners fry to
impose a salary cap once
again. The fragile truce rests
largely on wishful thinking. “I
think there is an unwritten
c om m it ment by both sides
that the 1995 season will be
played uninterrupted," Refer
Angelos, majority owner of
the Baltimore Orioles, said.
THE village men carried out
the dead bodies wrapped in
blankets. They unrolled them
gently for us to see. One child
had an arm crooked as
though trying to protect her
face. There was Mood every¬
where. The oldest must have
been about 17, the youngest
about seven.
The whole family had been
asleep in the village of Go rum
when terrorists smashed a
window and lobbed through
a hand grenade. The three
girls were killed instantly, the
baby's cradle smashed.
Outside all was apparently
normal: a cockerel perched on
a dung heap and hens pecked
away in foe sun. But foe
whole village; high in the
rugged mountains on the
Turkish side of the border,
was in a state of shock. It was,
the inhabitants said, the sec¬
ond attack by foe Kurdistan
Workers' Party (PKK) on foe
village in a few days. They
demanded better protection
from foe Turkish A/my.
A mile up foe road there
were hundreds of Turkish
soldiers and tanks. We were
foe only international observ¬
ers allowed to cross the border
at the beginning of the week,
at foe invitation of Erdal
Inonu, foe new Social Demo¬
crat Foreign Minister.
Part of foe problem here is
that Turkey's own policies
towards its Kurdish minority
have created a Kurdish terror¬
ist threat. No one could sup¬
port foe terrorist atrocities,
but Turkey has denied basic
human rights to moderate
Kurds in Turkey, and this in
turn has created a breeding
ground for Kurdish terrorists.
Turkey has lost patience with
PKK attacks from inside
northern Iraq, and two weeks
ago Ankara sent 35,000 troops
tacked by jets, trucks and
artiUexytodeara2ftai3e strip
along the border.
We met one of the captured
PKK soldiers at Silopi camp.
He was brought to us blind¬
folded. his arm in a sling. He
was a very young man. and
very nervous. He told us foal
he had come from Syria to
fight. "All Kurds are our
brothers," he whispered.
We spent an afternoon with
Turkish soldiers in terrain
that reminded me of Snowdo¬
nia. The battalion command¬
er showed us a huge cave in
the rocks which, we were told,
had previously housed dozens
of - guerrillas. The mifoary
also showed us weapons cap¬
tured from foe PKK.
Many Kurds inside north¬
ern Iraq have a quite different
focus of concern: Baghdad.
We crossed the border for a
journey deep inside northern
Iraq, where the two main
Iraqi Kurdish parties, the
Patriotic Union of Kurdistan
(PUK) and foe Kurdish Dem¬
ocratic Party (KDP), distance
themselves completely from
the separatist guerrillas,
whom they liken to the Shin¬
ing Path in Peru.
At foe headquarters of
Massoud Barzani, foe leader
of the KDP in Salhuddin, the
message to foe Turks was
dear "We want you to finish
the invasion quickly and re¬
turn home” Unfortunately,
the Kurds are far from united,
even though they have a
common enemy in President
Saddam Husain. When 1

ORGANISED crime is threat¬
ening China's stability, as .
Pdang^ contacts with the rest
of the world spread, according
to a member of Italy’s anti-
Mafia parliamentary
mmmisskm.
Speaking in Ptsking yester¬
day, Pino Ariacchi said that
conditions for an indigenous
• mafia were in place. He
emphasised tbax when Hong
Kong rejoins China in 1997 the
folks between foe colony's
secret societies, foe Triads,
and their counterparts in Ch5-
na will become even stronger.
The Hong. Kang gangs are
believed to have about100,000
members.'
“To fight Triads, w inch a re
foe most dangerous form of
Chinese organised crime, is
difficult/ he said, “because of
foe kind of natural secrecy." _
Organised crime is so seri¬
ous foat national newspapers
regularly write about it. it is a
matter of concern to foe coun¬
try’s senior leaders, and a
book on foe suWect was pub*
fished by two Shanghai spe¬
cialists last September. Su
Zhfiiang and Chen lifei re¬
ferred to the network as “foe
cancer of the cities” and com¬
pared "these evil farces” to the
Shanghai underworld before
the 1949 Communist takeover.
The China Youth Daify
newspaper said smuggling
indudes, gold, cultural relics,
firearms and cars — often
stolen to order as far away as
the United States.
From Associated Press
IN TRENTON. NEW JERSEY
Ariacchi- worried by
influence of Triads
SEVEN months ago, a group
of schoolchildren lamenting
the end of their summer
holidays put notes with greet¬
ings and their names and
addresses into a plastic bottle
and threw it into die Atlantic
at Cape Hatteras, North
Carolina.
They returned home to New
Jersey to start a new school
year and forgot about the
bottle. However, it was carried
by the Gulf Stream towards
Europe — and was found by
Marc Gurun, 11. at He de
Houat. off the coast of north¬
west France.
Last month. Jackie Borzio.
14. received a postcard in
French from Mare and when
her grandmother translated it,
she remembered Cape Ha it er-
as. “It’s amazing,” she said. “I
was totally shocked."
Brack Owens of the Woods
Hole Oceanographic Institu¬
tion in Massachusetts, said
that Cape Hatteras is one of
the few places where the
4,000-mile Gulf Stream cur¬
rent comes within a few yards
of the coast

THE TTTF.SDAY APRIL 41995
A Great
Black & White
Advertisement
Last night, Britain’s advertising ‘Oscars’, the National Newspaper Campaign Advertising Awards
took place. The award for best black & white newspaper advertisement of the year was won by
Saatchi & Saatclii’s ‘Junk Mail’, part of an anti-racism campaign run by the Commission for Racial
Equality (CRE). The campaign is called ‘Uniting Britain - For a Just Society’. Its aim is to change
people’s attitudes and mak e racial discrimination socially unacceptable in Britain.
The winning advertisement and two more from the campaign appear below. And Maurice Saatchi
Chairman of the judges explains why the panel of national newspaper editors, creative directors
and advertisers picked ‘Junk Mail’ as Britain’s best newspaper advertisement. You can support the
CRE campaign by calling them on 0171 828 7022.

judges _ .
It is an enormous
tribute to the people
at Saatchi & Saatchi who created the
campaign, that they were able to tackle
racism in a direct and powerful way,
but without lecturing or patronising
the audience.
As with all top-class advertising ever
xx. produced, the message of the CREs
advert is simple and goes straight to
the heart, ft is an important campaign
dealing with an important subject.
R acial discrimination is all too
common in Britain toddy. We
can be proud that we live iri a nation
where people of many different faces,
cultures and backgrounds can live
and work together. But there is still a-
lot more to be done if we are to get rid.
of the racism and harassment which
affects the daily lives of so many
ethnic minorities. ;
T he toughest challenge is to fight ■
racism where it is most deeply
fixed, in our own hearts and minds:
Changing attitudes is the most
difficult part of the process, and it is
the part where advertising can have
the most powerful influence. The - -
judges of these awards hope that the
campaign from the CRE will be
another step forward.
The National Newspaper Campaign Advertising Awards are run annually to acknowledge effective and creative advertising in
the national press. The aim of the Aw ards is to demonstrate the power of the press through the best advertisements that have
appeared in Britain's national newspapers in the last twelve months. We offer our congratulations to the overall winners,
Saatchi & Saatchi, for their campaign for the Commission for Racial Equality w'hich included the Best Black and White
advertisement and to Bar tie Bogle Hegarty for winning the Best Colour Advertisement for Moet & Chandon.

or into joining the Tutsi militia,*’ Mr
.Lodesaru said yesterday.
According to a report by the United
States Agency for International Develop¬
ment, tided The Burundi Surreality. the
manipulation of relief operations through
threats on both humanitarian workers
and Tutsis has enabled extremist politi¬
cians to fcanent tribal hatreds and ignore
the business of government. The humani¬
tarian community has been used as an
involuntary’ wedge between Burundi’s
population, wtuch is SSper cent Hutu and
15 per cent Tutsi. “While politicians
discuss their future and jockey for
political advantage, potentially explosive
issues (such as the reintegration or
resettlement of toe internally displaced
Tuts is) remain unaddressed by the cen¬
tral Government" the report said. Ex¬
tremist Hums have been unable to gain a
foothold in the Government since Leon¬
ard Nyangoma. the former Interior
Minister, fled to exile in Zaire Iasi year.
His Force for the Defence of Democracy
and its armed wing, the Intagohekos
(those who never sleep) have mounted a
number of attacks in some areas and have
received arms from Rwanda's Hutu
diaspora in Tanzania and Zaire.
One Western ambassador said: "The
Tutsi extremists insist on driving the two
ethnic groups further apart and blocking
any chance of a reconciliation. Yet they
should realise that they cannot survive
like this. They are outnumbered, and
sooner or later they will be outgunned.
•They have been corrupted by so many
years of unchallenged power. [Burundi
was under a Tutsi military dictatorship
between independence in 1963 and the
1993 riections-1 They simply cannot see
any way of making money other than
grabbing the reins of government But the
Hunts have now had a taste of power,
they know they outnumber the others.
they have access to arms, and they are
getting nastier by the day."
Donors are unlikely to continue fund¬
ing the relief effort in Burundi until they
see efforts at reconciliation working at
government level—in particular, because
only two provinces in Burundi are short
of food, and the country expects bumper
harvests as well as coffee and tea exports.
Another Wester diplomat noted; “The
time is fast approaching when we will
simply give up on this country."
□ Massacre uncovered: Burundi troops
and Tutsi gunmen massacred an estimat¬
ed 400 Hutus, mainly women and
children, in northeast Burundi last week,
diplomats and aid workers said yester¬
day. One envoy said: "There is no
question, this is genocide. “ Robert Krue¬
ger. the US Ambassador, said the vast
majority of those killed, in the Gasorwe
area, were women and children. (Reuierj

By Christopher Walker, middle east correspondent
FOR the first lime since unrest
began to rode the Gulf state of
Bahrain.last December, the'
ruling Emir has held hi gh - :
level-talks in an attempt to
restore calm before an nwerha-
tfonal economic conference, to .
be held next week, at which
Baroness Thatcher is due to be
the keynote speaker.
Opposition arid official
sources said yesterday that the
talks had taken place between
flie amir. Sheikh Isa bm
Salman al-Khalifa, and prom-:
inent Bahrainis, but gave dif¬
ferent accounts.. '
The violence was: sparked
by the arrest of a leading Shia
Muslim cleric after a petition
was circulated to reinstate the *•
partiamentdosed by fie Emir
20 years ago. The authorities -
say that protest is . being or-.
chestrated from Iran in order -
to destabilise the natfem..
According to' the offidal
GNA news agency, thefeaders -
met toe emir on Sunday to,
express tora-"“conoeni at the
violence and sabotage against
public and private property"..
The agency said thay,- itod*'
promised to make every effort'
to ***
In a contrasting ’acpotofr'"
however, .members of flie ex¬
iled Bahrain Freedom -Mw-/
ment, one of iwo
opposition groups,; said toat
“about 20 leading.Shja Mu£-'
lims were summoned fay toe -
cjtnr to ask them toend toe
unresT. Hie (position : said
that disturbances have left at
least 12 people dead in toe past
four months, although the..
Government has - admitted
only four deaths, including
flumoftimtepcIiceriRtori.;
The situation deteriorated at
the weekend with a call from
the main exiled opposition
the Islamic Front for
of Bahrain, for
a mass, campaign of rivfl
disobedience, and with the
arrest of unidentified suspects
accused erf sabotage and the
killing of. a policeman and a
Pakistani shop assistant
Since- st re e t disturbances
flared last December after the
'arrest erf p e ti tio ne rs demand-'
ing the reinstatement of par¬
liament — set up after inde¬
pendence from Britain in 1971
but dosed by the al-Khatifas
in 1975—human rights groups
have accused the authorities of
using excessive force. *

ALShakar: ‘terrorists’
said to be befmsdunrest
for condemnation by Islamic
purists.
last week Amnesty hrterna-
tfonal issued a report saying
that the political situation had
become critical with at least
seven civilians killed and doz¬
ens of others wounded since
last December. The Govern¬
ment says that the death toll is
lower and that there have been
about 300 arrests, as opposed
to flie more than3,000claimed
by the opposition. .
Bahrain's stability is of vital
importance to the West Since
1986, the group of islands that
forms the emirate has beat
linked to Saudi Arabia by a
causeway. The capital Mana¬
ma. provides vital services to
the United States Navy and
the RAF. although reporting
them is discouraged in an
attempt not to inflame extreme
Islamic opinion further.
At the root of Bahrain’s
troubles, which are causing
increasing concern in the
West, is the fact that a 65 per
cent Shia Muslim majority is
ruled by a Sunni Muslim
minority. Shia discontent has
bem exacerbated fay high un¬
employment and a rule keep¬
ing Shias out of the armed
forces and sensitive adminis¬
tration posts.
■ In a recent letter to The
Times, Karim Ebrahim al-
Shakar, the Bahraini Ambas¬
sador to London, said that toe
unrest was being provoked
' and supported by foreign-
based -terrorists bent on
destabilising the Gulf region.

were not only beyond the
experience of 18th-century
doctors but still puzzle
today's students. The Ox¬
ford Textbook of Medicine
describes the porphyrias as
“inborn errors of metabo¬
lism involving aberrations
of specific enzymes in the
haem biosynthetic path¬
way”: failure of the normal
metabolism results in phys¬
ical and mental symptoms.
Figures for the prevalence
of the porphyrias are not
available in England, but
one survey suggests that
one in 50,000 in Scotland
suffers from one type or
another. For most doctors
acute intermittent porphyr¬
ia is not so much a biochem¬
ical problem as an
appalling disease produc¬
ing severe constipation.

severe anxiety, depression
and noisy, irrational psy¬

In fact, the madness may
be of secondary importance
when compared with the
physical symptoms. The
scene of the doctors peering
anxiously into the regal
chamber pot is not a fig¬
ment of Bennett's imagin¬
ation — they were assessing
not only his constipation
but the colour of the urine.

The first attack, of acute

ally occurs in men before
the age of 35 — rather
earlier in women — and is
unusual after 50. The
disease is intermittent; com¬
plete remission may occur.
TREATMENT is with
heavy doses of carbohy¬
drates by mouth, or by
intravenous drip to help to
correct the biochemical ab¬

drugs and analgesics. The
most important measure of
ail is to avoid the drugs or
lifestyle which bring on
attacks. The long list of
suspect factors includes the

cines and stringent dieting.
A life spent
Dr Trisha
Greenhalgh talks to
a leading researcher
about African
prostitutes and
hopes of a vaccine
I n 19S4 Dr Sarah Rowland-Jones
was training to be a general
physician, and expected a con¬
ventional career. Now. aged 35.
she spends extended periods in Africa
studying prostitutes and is one of
Britain's leading researchers into
HIV and Aids at the Institute of
Molecular Medicine in Oxford.
The switch in her career was the
result of a short period during her
training spent on the infectious
diseases ward at St George's Hospi¬
tal. Tooting. “I had only just quali¬
fied. and seeing young lives wrecked
by this new, unknown disease. Aids,
rat a huge impression on me. At that
time h was almost unheard of for
apparently healthy adults to suc¬
cumb to infections like pneumocystis
pneumonia or thrush. 1 remember
one young man told his family his
diagnosis and they simply aban¬
doned him; if it had been leukaemia
everyone would have rallied round.
"Even in those early years we knew
that HIV was causing serious dam¬
age to the victims' immune systems.
As we learnt more about HIV, we
realised that the immune system
doesn't just give in to the virus, but
fights it for years and years before
being overcome."
The question which has fascinated
Dr Rowland-Jones ever since is what
tips the balance in this struggle and
can the immune system ever win it?
Her work has taken her to The
Gambia, where HIV-2 rather than
the more common HIV-1 is prevalent
(it shares about 50 per cent of its
genetic code with HIV-]). Here there
is a group of prostitutes who have
remained HIV-negative despite re¬
peated unprotected sex with high-risk
clients. “We wanted to study these
women in more detail because h
seems that they have either inherited
a special resistance to HIV or
acquired a natural immunity to it.”
They could hold the key to an Aids
vaccine.
The Medical Research Council has
established a number of research
units in the country and two Gambi¬
an healthcare workers travel around
on mopeds tracking down the
women, and offering free medical

care in exchange for blood samples.
The researchers are not allowed to
take more than about a tablespoonful
of blood every six months. This
means that chit research sometimes
moves slowly but the women's clini¬
cal care is not overshadowed.” says
Dr Rowland-Jones.
In almost everyone who becomes
infected with HIV, very high levels of
virus are found in the blood for a few
weeks, after which the levels fall very
low for months or years before rising
again as full-blown Aids begins to
develop. So it seems that most
people's immune systems manage to
hold the infection in check for a
variable length of time before being
overcome. It is now practically cer¬
tain that the immune system can. in
some circumstances, emerge the
victor.
The immune response to HIV is
mounted mainly by a particular
regiment of immune cells called
cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs).
which seek out cells infected with
bacteria or viruses and activate their
in-built auto-destruct mechanism.
CTLs recognise infected cells through
an ingenious "shop window” system,
in which the infecting organism gets
taken apart within the cell and small
fragments are hooked onto “display
cabinets” known as HLA molecules
and carried to the outside of the celL
Passing CTLs recognise the complex
of foreign Eragment-HLA molecules,
and once they have done so. they
trigger the production of thousands
of identical CTLs.
“We found that CTLs of HIV¬
negative Gambian prostitutes react
vigorously to HIV in the laboratory
ana kill the virus readily,” she says.
One explanation is that they have
been “vaccinated" against the infec¬
tion, either by taking on tiny amounts
of the virus at several successive
exposures, or by encountering an
unusually weak form of HIV before
being exposed to more virulent
strains. Another possibility is that
these women reacted to the weaker
HIV-2 virus some time in the past
and triggered CTLs whkh woe
active against HIV-1 as well. Accord¬
ing to Dr. Rowland-Jones, there is
evidence in favour of this
; hypothesis.

Last nigh t, Britain’s Advertising
‘Oscars’ Ceremony, the National
Newspaper Campaign Advertising
Awards took place. The award for
best colour advertisement of the
year was won by Moet & Chandon
and Bartle Bogle Hegarty for
‘Press’, pictured here.
Maurice Saatchi, Chairman of the
judges and his distinguished panel of
national newspaper editors, creative
directors and leading advertisers,
were unanimous in selecting
Moet & Chandon as the winner.
They considered what makes a great
colour ad. Great colour, of course.
Lots of style, excellent artwork and
reproduction... that goes without
saying. But forging a strong message
for a brand name as powerful as
Moet & Chandon required a blend
of quality graphics and memorable
words, skills familiar to both
journalist and ad-man.
This advertisement commands the
eye to linger. Its style is redolent of
a sumptuous champagne age. It sells
fine wine with period style. And the
editors on the judging panel found
the attack on “the power of the
press” an irresistible play on words!

So sorry you

Only the wallflowers got excited

AS UNSEEMLY as it might
be for a journalist to admit
this, I am beginning to feel
rather Stephen Fryish about
the press. Must it be so nasty?
Now, while I don’t want to
slip too fatuously into Michael
Winner mode — the columnist
as sdfpublirist is not an
attractive spectacle— I cannot
entirely choke my response to
the press coverage given to my
dancing with Salman Rushdie
at the launch party for Martin
Anus’s new novel last week.
This is the story: there is a
party; people dance at it
Scoop of the year, surely. The
cameras were invited by the
publishing com¬
pany. so one can
hardly blame the
photographers, and
actually 1 don’t This
isn’t about intrusive-
ness: having your
photograph taken
while dancing is just
not something to get
excited about or feel
ashamed of. I had a NIG
great time: nothing r au
to conceal about Li/AV
that What concerns
me rather is what the photo¬
graphs were used to say later,
and the words that accompa¬
nied than were, with some
exceptions, notably composed
by those who hadn’t been
invited. About which more
later.
What the photographers —
and their editors — really
wanted were pictures of Mar¬
tin Amis and his new girl¬
friend. Had they got those, the
apparently pressing story of
“Salman Rushdie dances at
party" would have been kept
from you. But that’s all they

got, so they went with it. But
that’s not a story so a spin has
to be put on it These days that
means finding something
mean to say. And so the
pictures are captioned with
sarcastic remarks about how
much “we" are all paying far
Special Branch to look on
while Mr Rushdie has a good
time at a party, alonp with the
usual snide implications.
Why is there so much ha¬
tred towards Salman Rush¬
die? In anyone’s scheme of
things, going out to a parly
and getting on down is not a
particularly heinous activity.
What do people want? For him
to stay locked up out
of sight? Sometimes
I fear that what they
want is even worse
than that It is insup¬
portable that this
man who is the vic¬
tim of terrorism is
treated as if he were
the culprit of some
vile crime himself.

the TIMES TUESDAY APRIL 41995
Exorcising
the spectre
of Hitler
Roger Boyes on why the Russians
feared the Fuhrer’s bones
AS NAZI Germany crumbled
around him, Joseph Goebbels
ransacked his imagination
and made an uncanny predic¬
tion for 1995. "If the Fuhrer
dies an honourable death in
Berlin and if Euroiw falls to
the Bolsheviks — then in five
decades at the latest the Fuh-
rer will haw become a legend¬
ary personality and national
sodaJism will have the quality
of a myth, blessed by that last
great sacrifice.”
The mystery of Adolf Hit¬
ler’s death — revealed in some
derail yesterday by Der Spie¬
gel — has been the object of
some fascination for half a
century. The damp, cramped
bunker, the Flames eating up
Berlin, the strange crazed
intimacy of Hitler. Eva Braun,
the Goebbels family, the
crackling communication
with the Reich, the physical
deterioration of the Nazi lead¬
er: all this makes up a drama
at once sordid and compelling.
The usual comparison is with
Wagner's Twilight of the
Gods, but there was little that
was noble or entrancing about
those final days underground.
Rather, it was bad opera —
Puccini perhaps — with a
libretto by Von Clausewitc
perfectly logical commands
issued out of a chaotic house¬
hold into an unre- _
cepcive darkness as
the rumour of war ‘St
closed in.
There was black belie
farce too — shortly *l. r
before the end. the lilf! I<
Auschwitz doctor j-,-.
Karl Gebhardt ap- uen
peared in Hiller’s gpj
bunker, asking y
whether he could be
appointed president of the
German Red Cross. If the Red
Cross has a branch in hell.
Gebhardt is surely president
he was hanged at Nuremberg.
Goebbels’s prognosis was a
relatively shrewd one. Cer¬
tainly it influenced Stalin, who
needed much persuasion that
Hitler was really dead. Profes¬
sor (then Squadron Leader)
Hugh Trevor-Roper’s findings
presented in November 1945
were widely accepted in the
West His thorough detective
work and cross-examination
of witnesses seemed to squash
the many rumours that Hitler
had escaped from the bunker.
Stalin wanted more — he had.
after all. die best witnesses,
and interrogated them thor¬
oughly. Almost a dozen of
these captives were sent back
to the site of the bunker in 1946
for a filmed midnight re¬
enactment of the last days of
Hitler. When Stalin was con¬
vinced. his chief concern was
that the whereabouts of the
body should remain a secret.
Like all good Georgians he
believed in the force of demon¬
ic spirits. Hider was so thor¬
oughly evil that even his bones
had to be hidden for ever.
Der Spiegel's account,
based on recently discovered
communications between the
KGB chief Yuri Andropov and
the Soviet leader Leonid
Brezhnev in 1970. is entirely
plausible and has been sup¬
ported by many interviews
with direct participants. In
this account, the remains of
Hitler, his mistress Eva Braun
and the Goebbels family (in¬
cluding their six poisoned
children) were crammed into
five ammunition boxes, driven
ro Magdeburg and buried in a
‘Stalin
believed in
the force of
demonic
spirits’
Soviet military camp. When in
March 1970 it seemed that the
Soviet base might be handed
over to the East Germans.
Andropov asked for permis¬
sion to transfer the bodies to a
nearby tank training ground
for cremation. Brezhnev
approved.
At dead of night, exactly 25
years ago today, five KGB
officers dug up the improvised
coffins and carried out the
order. The historical back¬
ground of this night-time ex¬
humation was significant:
Willy Brandt, the West Ger¬
man Chancellor, had just been
greeted by cheering East Ger¬
mans in Erfurr. Germany was
making Russia nervous.
What demons had been
un bottled by Ostpolitik?
Russia is still ruled by men
both anxious about, and re¬
spectful of. Germany. Report¬
ing of German affairs in the
Russian press is still stamped
by memories of the war, by the
fear of resurgent nationalism,
by the conviction that
Germany is the motive force
behind Nato's expansion east¬
wards. There is no more
uncertain relationship in
world politics than that of the
“good Friends’* Boris Yeltsin
and Helmut Kohl. Hitler'S
bones still matter in a country
_ which has mummi¬
fied Lenin.
[jjj The Russians
. have consistently
xJ in underestimated
r Germany's ability
ce 01 to develop a proper
democratic culture.
But they were prob¬
ing* ably right to lake
^Goebbels'S predic-
' lion at face value —
a grave or a tomb to Hitler
would be dangerous indeed.
Even the hard-nosed Western¬
er has an uneasy feeling in the
concrete tunnels under Hit¬
ler's holiday home at
Berchtesgaden.
GOEBBELS was very eager to
arrange the proper kind of
death for his master. It had lo
reclaim, as Goebbels .saw it,
the lost nobility of Hitler.
Alive. Hider in those final
days was a stooped, stubbled,
grey, barely sane 55-year-old.
his tunic flecked with grease.
Dead. Hider could be the
beacon for a reborn Germany.
The order went out to set up
werewolf units of young Ger¬
mans to form the nucleus of a
new nationalist movement
For them, and others, a lasting
heroic figure had to emerge
from the rubble. Goebbels
read aloud chunks of Thomas
Carlyle's biography of Freder¬
ick II of Prussia. The Prussian
king — whose portrait hung in
Hitler’s bunker bedroom —
derided that unless the Seven
Years War shifted in his
favour by February 1762. he
would kill himself with poi¬
son. Fortunately, the Russian
Tsaritsa died on January 5.
Her son was an admirer of
Frederick.
Hitler cried when he heard
this. He wanted so much to be
a latter-day Frederick. For
him. though, there was to be
no last-minute salvation. The
Russians, in their own con¬
spiratorial way. did the right
thing by this pathetic tyrant:
his ashes nn doubt merged
with the dark heavy clouds of
industrial smoke that slowly
poisoned the East German
slate.
No critic’s
turn
Benedict
defends his craft
W ho said that asking a ■
playwright h aw he felt
about critics was like
asking a lamppost how
it felt about dogs? Christopher
Hampton. I think; but it has become
increasingly apparent of late thatJiis
view is widely shared, and'not only
by dramatists.
Tony Slattery used Sunday's Olivi¬
er Awards to attack critics ^as;
variously, "barking bloody mad’Va
prat", “boss-eyed" and worse. And
dial tirade came a month after we
were bad-mouthed for. cruelty, to
another comic Reportedly, it was a
review of Cell Mates that called
Stephen Fry “the alt-time facade., so
damnably English and perplexingjy
inexpressive" which provoked his
hurried exit from the play arid foe
country.
We dish it out. we -should take it_:
Indeed, it would probably do every¬
one good if there was more criticism ■
of the critics, though it might help if
the likes of Slattery were dearer
about their objections. As any cub ^
reviewer knows, there are mo® -
complete ways of analysing some='
one’s faults than calling him names. -
Still, I don’t think we critics should i
abase ourselves for fear of offending,
Slattery. Nor should we start lying
about our feelings — for this is what ■
is implicitly demanded — on the off-
chance that they may send perforin-:
era to the Low Countries hi berets and.
dark glasses. If we have toiythingto
apologise about h is that we are too -
generous and too much in love With
the theatre. If we shortchange any¬
one, it is not playwrights or comedi¬
ans. but those to whom we are
primarily responsible: the public.

Beggar thy neighbour
W ho was that nuisance
who said De minimis
non curat /ex? A likely
story! Well, whoever he
was, he must have been not quite off
his rocker, or at least determined to
bring down our entire legal system.
The truth is that the lex curais like
billyu from morning til] night, and
there isn’t a square inch left to put
down a minimus or two. And if you
don’t believe me. go and ask District
Judge John Turner, who has just
presided over a case which lasted (1
days, an every day of which His
Honour must have come dose to
asking the usher to pass him a large
bowl of prussic add and a ladle.
I have been at this business —
writing columns for The Times — for
23 years, and I am dreadfully certain
that in every one of those years there
has been at least one month (some
years a dozen) in which 1 could, if 1
was mad enough to do it, make at
least half my columns out of court
cases based on disputes between
neighbours. I have carefully cata¬
logued 167 cases of claims that Mr
Higgenbottem’s trees are encroach¬
ing on Mrs Bottenhig’s hedges. 244
instances of Mr Wallop’S parking
space being invaded, 1.031 demands
from the family Smith-Smythe to end
the stenches coming from their
chickens, and 18.909 violent retalia¬
tions in the cases erf untrained dogs.
And yet they come. This time it is
the Swainstons v the Foxes, and there
is no half-time. What there is, of
course, is invariably a draw, these
catastrophes always end up with both
sides wearing Woody noses and both
sides, of course, almost ruined. (The
legal fees for both sides came to
£50.000. Natch.)
Let us now get down to the
Swainstons and the Foxes, and what
they got up to. In case l might get
entangled in the details of who is who
(why is why. I could never hope to
know), I shall recite the catalogue of
horror without apportioning names,
and I shall call all the participants by
the name of Hate One and Hate Two.
Very well. Hostilities between Mr
Hate One erupted when the Hate
Twos moved in nearly three years
ago. Within hours. Mr Hate One was
complaining about rubbish being
piled in the driveway.
The bitterness escalated as offen¬
sive graffiti apppeared outside the
Hate Twos’ home. At one stage the
police were being called up to five
times a day.
The court was told that Mr Hale
The courts are full of people who want
the people next door to go to hell
One had kept a diary as the vendetta
between the neighbours gathered
pace. By the time it came to court
there were almost 1.000 entries. Most
related to noise from Mr Hate Two’s
dog. radios and motorbike. Among
the catalogue of incidents was me in
which Mr Hate One siphoned the
water from Mr Hale Two’s water
bun. Once, seven policemen were
needed to restrain Mr Hate One.
Next Mr Hate Two bought a caravan
and parked it in his drive, blocking
Mr Hate One’s view.
A twist was added to the court
proceedings when Mr Hate Two’s
parents gave evi¬
dence against their __
son— they said that f J
they had moved to
North Devon to get X/v/ i
away from him. At -y
the end of foe case. I
foe judge ordered f .^3
that Mr Hate Two - 1 —*
should only play his --
radio with his ga¬
rage door dosed, should not touch a
fence between foe two properties and
must not let his down-pipe overflow
into his neighbours’ garden. The
judge was also critical of the amount
of time the case had taken and said
there should be a way to nip in the
bud such disputes. He added that the
case was the “most wretched and
miserable neighbours' dispute to
come before me".
That. I assure you. is only a
smattering of the horrors of this case;
I have left the worst bits out. because
I am not (though h may seem to you
otherwise) simply intending to make
your flesh creep. Indeed I am not
even pointing a finger, or talking
about vendettas and hatreds and
sworn oaths. I am talking about
human beings, and how extraordi¬
nary they are. or can be.
We all stan with a variety of
feelings, passions, instincts; these are
not to be confused with intelligence,
even genius. The creature called a
human being has a substantia]
number of possibilities as soon as it
understands what existence means,
and i: car. use it, or abuse it. as it
chooses.
Somewhere, there must be a gene
that deals with place; indeed, there
certainly is. and it is surely the oldest
Bernard
and most intractable. One of the most
familiar cartoons — it is probably the
runner-up to the desert-island one —
is foe picture of foe cave-man with his
dub. But there can be no cave-man
without a cave. That fascinating
book. The Territorial Imperative .
was a huge success in the United
States, and another in Britain. And
that was not by chance, because the
book sang the praises of place, of
home, of roots, of familiar signs; why,
was not one of the most familiar
statements ever made “Here I stand.
I can do no other"? And on a less
awesome plane, it only takes half a
_ dozen people com-
j ing together to have
J at least one of them
i/lmii mention his home.
%dvi t/V We can spread
a the idea wider still:
it is not another
7/7 joke for the cartoon-
v**' ist (though foe car-
- — toonist. again,
blesses its existence)
foai very many homes—not only foe
retired majors* — are christened
Dunromin. Indeed, the very idea of
giving a house a name might be
thought odd, yet no one — no one in
this country, at least — thinks that it
is strange.
But James Elroy Flecker did not
think it strange at all:
on the the unbelieving faces round
the table when L somewhat tentative¬
ly. said that I had never sat behind
the wheel of a car — in America! —
will remain with me all my life.)
There must be countless people
who. coming bad; from, say, a
greatly enjoyed holiday, nevertheless
find themselves on the edge of tears
when they see their home, and rush
into it and touch the furniture. But
that is why I told you. some
paragraphs ago, that foe wrest
quarrels, short of murder (and quite
frequently not short of murder), are
those which concern homes, and that
is why sane and level human bangs
are willing to spend the last penny
they have, and borrow more that they
haven’t, to make sore that no enemy
will touch foeir redoubt (It isobvious
for castles to have been invented; but
it was foe genius who invented die
moat who is blessed for evermore.)
T here is an American saying
that goes “Stout fences make
good neighbours’ and no
one would deny its truth. I
have to admit that although 1 have ,
lived in the same house for more than
30 years, I do not know who are the
people who live in the house adjacent
on my left, and I would not know
those on my right as well, were it not
for foe fad that it is a doctor's, and foe
going and coming makes it obvious.
And thus 1 come back to where I
started, with foe judge still groaning, •
as well he may.
Howeasy it looks to say "it doesn’t
matter" when it is other people who
are involved: how absurd it is to <fig
in when it is not your spade.
Look at these words, arid don’t tell
me that I exaggerate: they refer to Mr
Hate One. He and his family “put
their life savings into bringing the
case to court and will have to find the
remaining quarter of their legal bills
themselves... This has been two and
a half years of absolute misery and
we just want to get on with having a
quiet life... fingers crossed, that is ;
what we can now have..."
As for Mr Hate Two. well. . I
don’t know how we will pay the costs
but we will not be moving away from
the area, even if we have to go too a
council house... we are shocked at.
afi that has happened and at how I
have been painted as some kind of
madman..."
And for an envoi? How about Two
wrongs don’t make a right, but two
hates can go on hating tiff the end of
time"?
Half w forget the wandering and the
pain.

by.
And dream and dream that l am home

European travel without passports Advantages of single-sex schools
from Mr Nigel H. C. Ward
Sir, Your leader. “Jeux sans front-
ities" (March 27). rightly points out
how it has been made progressively
easier to travel between many of the
countries of mainland Europe, long
before the Schengen agreement was
implemented (report, March 25).
Many of us travelling between the
UK 'arid France fry air often have
merely to hold up our passports at
immigration control; rarely are they
banded to or even opened by the cus¬
toms officer. However, you assert that
Schengen should not be implemented
in Great Britain for a variety of
reasons, none of which I find convinc¬
ing.
There is no difference to the res¬
trictions and controls that need apply
to Sights arriving at, say. Frankfort
from the US or Asia than to those ar¬
riving at Heathrow. There is no com¬
plaint now from the main airports in
the UK about carrying foe cost of
receiving passengers who wish to fly
cm to Birmingham or Edinburgh.
Anyone who has recently travelled
either by ferry or Le Shuttle knows
that the immigration procedures are
minimal, untikdy to prevent any
determined felon from entering our
country.
Of course careful control procedures
must be maintained for all travellers
altering Europe from non-EU coun¬
tries, but nothing will be achieved by
restricting the movement of EU citi¬
zens in and out of Great Britain.
Tb do so would be to add to foe
growing list of differences between
ourselves and our partners. Those
who wish this to happen would be the
first to complain about unnecessary
delays Mien they next tried to start
their summer holidays in France.
Spain, Italy and elsewhere.
Beethoven was played, and ii fdi good
to be amongst friends, to be European
and yet no less British.
To pass through the EC’s internat¬
ional frontiers, wifo a smile rather
than a forma) reading of my passport
details, would give me a feeling of
immense pleasure and pride. It is a
great shame that foe strident minority
seems to be setting foe agenda for foe
silent majority. Once again, Britain
seems to be on the outside looking in.

Sir, I have travelled through the Chan¬
nel ports to France regularly over the
last 20 years. Yesterday, unprece¬
dentedly. I waited in a queue ar Calais
for nearly half an hour to have my
passport checked by French im¬
migration control.
Was it coinridemal that the Scheng¬
en agreement was implemented on the
previous day? Are we already paying
the price for an emerging second-class
membership of the European Union?

Right to silence
From Mr Adrian Zuckerman
Sir, There is nothing wrong wifo ex¬
pecting a suspect to answer questions,
provided the interrogation is fair [tet-
tern, March 24, 31]. But the Criminal
Justice Act 1994 makes no provision
for foe fairness.
One of foe most basic requirements
of fairness is that before being re¬
quired to defend oneself one should be
given information about the case that
one has to answer. Moreover, it is in¬
herently unsafe to build a case on
what a suspect says an being arrested,
when be may be nervous, emotional
and confused.
Solicitors would therefore be justi¬
fied to advise clients to reserve their
reaction until they have calmed down
and until the police have put their
cards on foe table.
No doubt, this may help some guilty
persons escape punishment But for as
long as we believe that h is better to let
ten guilty go free than convict one
innocent this is foe price we have to
pay for fair and just procedures.
It should also be remembered that
should we be unfortunate enough to
be taken to a police station, each and
every one of us would like to receive
fair treatment.
Yours truly,
A ZUCKERMAN,

Planning maze
From Mr G. Roland Adamson
Sir, Despite the fact that Sir John
Notrs letter was printed on April I, I
was intrigued by his suggestion that
new military units should be set up
based on popular football clubs.
As a schoolmaster for 23 years I
recognise the British adolescent male
as a dangerous creature unless he is
' brought under control by loyalty to
freely-chosen voluntary units. Once
we had the drill halls, now according
to Sir John we could have foe popular
soccer dubs.
I suggested in my recent book
Speaking My Mind — not published
on April 1 — that aU 14-18-year-oki
youths should have to join a local
uniformed organisation and attend
one evening a week, one weekend a
month and one week a year in camp
and compete in all activities against
other local groups m sports and ex¬
ercises.
Sir John’s idea is more imaginative.
At cme stroke we could end all football
hooliganism and have foe fittest and
best trained youths in Europe. This
would certainly frighten the Spanish
fishermen.
Sir, The latest planning fiasco re¬
ported in your columns ("Oast re¬
storer takes local dispute to Stras¬
bourg". March 21), involving the
rebuilding of an oast house, dearly
demonstrates that the planning sys¬
tem in this country is Jong overdue for
public scrutiny.
The number of planning appeals
reported in the press is totally in¬
significant compared to those which
occur on a country-wide basis — al¬
most 20.000 every year, using foe
Department of the Environment's
own statistics.
Any planning code which permits
the designation of a ruin, refurbished
to a useful purpose, as “a dangerous
planning precedent" and which states
that it must be demolished "in the
national interest 1 " is clearly more
deserving of authorship by Lewis Car-
roll than by sensible and caring
administrations.

Business letters, page 25
Sir, Dr Simon Wessety is wrong m
staring that the age of puberty, after
having fallai steadily since the middle
of the last century, has now reached a
plateau (“Are vw really getting more
miserable?", March 21). He does not
say whether he is discussing puberty
in boys, girls or both, but presumably
he means girls, since most of foe data
available concerns them.
Professor D. F. Roberts and I have
shown in several articles, foe latest in
the Journal ofBiosoaal Science, 1993,
volume 25, that foe trend towards ear¬
lier menaithe (puberty in girls) was
reversed about twenty years ago and
the age is now not steady, but in fact
slowly increasing.

From the Principal oj Cheltenham
Ladies' College
Sir, Charles Bush, the Headmaster of
Eastbourne College, writes (letter.
March 30) of the college's: decision to
admit girls. However, foe modem
world, unfortunately, is not one
“where both sexes compete equally"
In faa. women still struggle for equal
recognition of their talents and abil¬
ities.
In a girls' school all is provided for
girls — laboratories, libraries and
sports facilities. There is no question of
some subjects being boys' subjects,
nor is there any danger of them aban¬
doning the computer room under
male pressure.
Most girls wfl] da better in an en¬
vironment where they can take all foe
responsibilities and leadership roles
and see female role models in senior
positions. They need time and oppor¬
tunity to build up their confidence be¬
fore discovering that, as Nigetla Law-
son put it, “the male ego is a fragile
thing and cannot cope with female
competition” (March 28) and risk be¬
ing put out of the race before they are
even in it
uage. It is not the job of a school to
mirror society, nor is it foe job of a
headmaster to follow whatever trends
happen to be gathering momentum, it
is his job to decide what is educa¬
tionally desirable. Co-education, on
current evidence, is not.

April!
From Mr M. B. Fisher
Sir, In his justification of co-education,
or his school's derision to opt for it. foe
Headmaster of Eastbourne College
leaves unanswered two questions.
Why do the league tables unam¬
biguously show that the highest at¬
tainment is to be found at single-sex
schools? And why did our predeces¬
sors, who created the schools which
we inherit, segregate the sexes at
adolescence?
It is not good enough to talk about
co-education as a "trend'* which is
“gathering momentum" and which
“minors’' society. Education has suf¬
fered enough from this kind of lang-
Sir, As Headmaster of one of the few
remaining all-girls' schools in this
area of the South Coast, I cannot agree
with Charles Bush's letter.
There has been a deluge of an¬
nouncements over recent years of for¬
mer boys’ schools taking girls. All
businesses face economic pressures in
this recession and arty school has the
right to develop and change in order to
try to keep its share of foe market One
does sometimes question, however,
the educationally philosophical state¬
ments which are made with these
announcements.
The fact that girls achieve so much
more in a single-sex environment is
well known. Indeed, foe article by the
President of the Girls’ Schools Associ¬
ation stated the evidence most dearly
(“Why we need girls' schools". Edu¬
cation. March 27).
Like Charles Bush, we also respond
to parents' wishes and will continue to
offer single-sex education for young
women to prepare them effectively for
their adult fife, during which we trust
they will help improve society. Mir¬
roring society has not often proved the
way of improving it.

Judges’ retirement age
From Mr Richard Addis
From His Honour Judge
Richard Holman
Sir, There is no sound reason to sup¬
pose that judges are any better than
other people at deriding for them¬
selves when to retire (report. March
29). There is always the danger of
staying on mo long, and in ray view a
compulsory retirement age and the
lowering of that age for judges are
both unobjectionable.
Indeed, although I am entitled to sit
until I am 72.1 am happy to indicate
publicly to the Lord Chancellor that I
envisage hanging up my wig and
making way for a younger, fresher
mind, rather earlier than that.
Sir. As a recruiter of volunteers wifo a
minimum age of 50 my mouth is
watering at the wealth of potential
talent being released into community
service now that all those judges will
be retiring at 70.
RSVP (Retired and Senior Volun¬
teer Programme) will never impose an
upper age limit Our oldest volunteer
at foe moment recently celebrated her
hundredth birthday. Her contribution
is leading a group which knits min¬
iature clothes for premature babies in
hospitals.
We could, however, readily suggest
a variety of less demanding projects
for retired judges.

Fishing dispute
awaits foe courageous action taken by
the Canadian authorities.
From Mr Walter Cairns
Sir. Senor Torrents dels Prats is
perfectly right (letter. March 30). We
should not rely on sentiment when
assessing the rights and wrongs of the
current fishing dispute between foe
EU and Canada. The issues must be
assessed solely and purely on their
own merits, which concern conserva¬
tion of fishing, regardless of the nat¬
ionality of the perpetrator.
It was right for Iceland to defy in¬
ternational rules in 1972. and it is right
for the Canadians to do the same now.
More than once, international law has
proved unequal to certain situations,
and has ultimately sanctioned prac¬
tices originally classified as illegal
because they fully exposed foe short¬
coming in the applicable rules.
I am confident that a similar fate

Wise investment?
Buchan plaque
From Mr Ken Simmons
From Mr Andrew Lownie
Sir, Concerned foal apy annual in¬
crease in my state pension should be
adequately invested without jeopar¬
dising foe country’s economy, here is
my proposition, and 1 invite readers’
comments in respect of both the sense
and the morality of my derision.
Commencing cm April 6. the annual
princely increase (or 37p weekly) wiB
purchase three extra kffler cigarettes,
sheer luxury to foeover-65s for whom
such satisfaction is in itself an invest¬
ment; foe Chancellor himself should
certainly approve, for much of foe 37
pence returns immediately to foe ex¬
chequer.
And then there is longevity. Today,
though with dedining health and at
enormous cost in hospital or com¬
munity care. 90 is no great age, and
rtty “extra three" in shortening my life
will save National Insurance contrib¬
utors huge sums.
Thus, in summing up, I reach these
conclusions: three extra cigarettes,
some fifty extra puffs of sheer delight,
should reduce uty life expectancy, im¬
prove foe economy and relieve stare
pension contributors of an enormous
burden.
Sir. Peter Hopkiik (letter, March 23) is
quite right that John Buchan should
have a London blue plaque, and foe
obvious house to mark is 76 Portland
Place, the site of his former home from
1912 to 1919. particularly since Richard
Hannay in The Thirty-Nine Steps
lived “hard near Portland Place".
If English Heritage will not do
something to mark foe 35 years Buch¬
an worked in London then perhaps
the Buchan Society should organise
its own plaque.

Classical Association meeting
Horace shines in modem critical light
By Phi up Howard
THESE snows are fled away
from the beach at St Andrews,
though, they suli gleam on the
distant highlands. In his presi¬
dential address to the Classi¬
cal Associations of Scotland
and England yesterday. Pro¬
fessor David West of
Newcastle University shone
fresh light on two of the best
loved odes of Horace.
The poems. 1.4 Sohritur
acris hiems and 4.7 Diffugen
nrves, dance around the end of
winter and the brevity of
mortality. (“Pale Death with
foot impartial knocks at the
poor man's cottage and at
princes’palaces.” observes the
former.)
in May 1914. at the end of a
lecture at Cambridge. A.E.
Housman uncharacteristical¬
ly announced that he was
going to the latter as
poetry rather than grammar.
He then read his translation.
Then he said hurriedly, tike a
man betraying a secrcc That
I regard as the most beautiful
poem in ancient literature.”
and be walked quickly out of
the room. One of the under¬
graduates who watched him
said: "I was afraid the (rid
fellow was going to cry.”
Professor West is a golden
literary critic of Latin as well
as a poet These two poems are
often said to be the most alike
in the work of Horace.
Professor West discovered
great differences in the poet
and the world in the ten years
between their composition.
And be made a powerful
defence of traditional scholar¬
ship, nowadays put down as
minimalist.
For example, modem recep*

tion theory is concerned with
what later ages have made of
the texts. This is important to
classical scholars only in so far
as it helps them improve their
historical understanding of
the texts. Doxinstructkmists
examine what they bring to
the texL This is a m atter for
their analysts ora 2Qtfa-centu-
ry cultural historian.
Pro fessor West defended the
traditional job of literary
scholar. Humbly to seek un¬
derstanding of great works
knowing mat we can never
hope to know the mind of
Horace. To seek the truth that
we can never find. Scholarship
- is a business of using our
senses, intelligence, emotions
and imagination, all of them
- under the discipline of history.
.. As we travel farther in time
'from Horace, even after 20
centuries men like Professor
West take us closer to under¬
standing his ancient master
works. This may not be fast-
, kmble literary theory! It is
-better than that: to help us to
understand a great poem is an
act of creative poetry itselt

Archaeology
Bone disease is the
stuff of Norse legend
By Norman Hammond, archaeology correspondent
A NORSE saga telling of a
man whose skull could resist
axe blows has been linked
with the pathological condi¬
tion of Paget's disease. Al¬
though the bones themselves
still await examination, die
saga's dramatic words make
the diagnosis a plausible one.
Tgil . the son of Skati-Grim.
is the most memorable Viking
lo appear in the Old Norse
sagas.” says Jesse L Byock.
Professor of Medieval Scandi¬
navian Studies at the Univer¬
sity of California at Los
Angeles. Although brave,
bright and lucky. Egil is
portrayed as ugly, irritable
and brooding, like his father
and grandfather, he was phys¬
ically menacing.
In later life Egil became
deaf, blind, lost his sense of
balance, and suffered from
chronically cold feet His head
and face became disfigured.
His head was described as ‘a
helm’s-rock". and when his
bones were reinterred about
AD 1150. 160 years after his
death in Iceland, his descen¬
dant Skapti Thorarinsson not¬
ed some striking features of
theskuti.
"It was ridged all over on
the outside like a scallop shell
ti picked up a heavy axe
’struck as hard as he was
aWe. trying to break die skulL
But the skull neither broke nor
doited: it simply turned white
az the point of impact.” says
EgU's Saga. Although this has
been rited as evidence of the
fanciful nature of the sagas.
Professor Byock claims it
shows just theopposite.
A corrugated skull surface is
one symptom of Paget’s dis¬
ease. he says, as is die ivory¬
like resilience erf the bone
remarked by Skapti. The sa¬
ga’s description of Egtils large
and prominent features also
fits, as do his infirmities in (rid
age. Professor Byock says; die
description of Egil is so far
from normal saga speech that
a true representation of his
striking appearance is likely.
Although Sir James Paget
did not define his eponymous
affliction until 1877, Professor
Byock believes that it has
im port a nt repercussions for
the interpretation of Viking
life eight centuries earlier, the
accurate detail of Egfl^ ap-
pearance and decline suggests
that other information in die
Sagas maybe equally reliable.

arduous years?g engineer officer of

mon tribute to one of his profession.
. Unlike tbeofficers and aca of tbe
executive ^branch- on the bridge and
decks, who might be comfortedby
Ae notion that an escape from fee
violence of the . enemy-was al least
theonaically 5 ossibIe if the ship was
sunk, die engineer fought Ins battles

•Down- tbere* wife : fee -shock - of
unseen explosions—■ evien those from
misses — often magnified -by their
transmission, through water, -nerves -
of steel were required calmly to go
through fee motions vital to mam-
aiding steam to the turbines ias fee
ship manoeuvred violently, under
attack. Sudden, terminal damage to-
the ship meant as aD knew, entomb¬
ment tor those trapped in the
machinery spaces.
HMS Hasty had a quite remark-.
able career, in the Mediterranean
frtmfeefeoihent shewasdepfoyed-
these in die summer of 1940, after
lt^jrjoined the war on Axis side.
In the three years before she feB
victim to.a German torpedo'feetodc
part-in' some desperateconvoy ac¬
tions; shore bombardments;hanks
with theslups of the Italian navy; and
attacks on U-boais. To keep her fully
functioning at sea without serious .
mechanical problems throughout
this taxing period was Wjffliamirs
great achievement
David Aptharp Williams joined die
Navy in 1929 from Cheltenham
College and graduated in 1934 from
fee naval engineering college ..at...
Keyham, Plymouth. Ffis prewar
career was spent in battleships in the
• Home Fleet jmd training /artificer
ap^irentioes at Chatham,'- '
He joined Hasty to tone 1939. The
ship's eventful war started in the
South Atlantic with; fee. capture of
two Goman blockade runners. Mov¬
ing to tirc Medftenarean. jn June
1940, she bombarded die Libyan
towns of Bardia and Sidi Barrani
-and in toty took part in Admiral
Cunningham's firsf serious brush
. wife fee -Italian battle fleet off the
coast uf Calabria, making torpedo
attacks on enemy cruisers. Later,
with the Australian cruiser Slydney
' and other destroyers. Hasty assisted
in the sinking of fee Italian cruiser
Bartolomeo CoUeonL. .
In fee autumn of 1940. while on
convoy, she sank an Italian subma¬
rine with HMS Havodc. to January
1941 she helped the stricken carrier
Illustrious bade, to Malta.
In March she played a prominent
role in the victory over the Italian
fleet near Cape-Matapan, in which
Cunnin gham , intercepted a st rong
force, stoking three heavy cruisers
and two destroyers, besides inflicting
damageon fee brand new battleship
Vittorio Veneto. This victory ensured
that fee Italian fleet was not able to
interfere wife the subsequent evacua¬
tion of Briz&i and Commonwealth
troops from Greece and Crete. For
bis pan in operating Hasty’s boilers
and engines is an action which
strained machinery to the limits, as
.fee British destroyers and light
cruisers pelted hither and thnher,
- laying down smoke screens to coa>
fuse the aim of the Italian gunners,
U/fiKams was awarded fee DSC
The subsequent evacuations of
Greece and Crete cost many ships
and lives, but Host/s charmed life
continued despite repeated air at¬
tacks. She later carried out 17
hazardous supply runs into besieged
Tobruk until that crucial strongpoint
on the Libyan coast was relieved by
tiie Eighth Army in December 1941.
In that month Hasty, wife other
escorts, forced a German U-boat to
. the surface and captured the crew.
Her final action was the battle of
Sirte. the notable defence of a Malta
convoy against a vastly superior
Italian force. Hasty's luck ran out on
June 13, 1942. when she was torpe¬
doed by a U-boat but all but 15 of her
crew were rescued.
Williams was next appointed to fee
new aircraft carrier implacable and
saw action against Japan wife the
British Pacific Fleet in 1945. Political
pressures, as well as professional
pride, required the Royal Navy’s
performance, especially in carrier
operations, at least to match the
expertise of the Americans in fee vast
expanses of fee Pacific Williams
earned a C-m-C’s commendation for
his leadership in the innovative
repair of a serious main engine
breakdown, thus keeping Implaca¬
ble at sea in the front line.
Williams was engineer officer of
the cruiser Argonaut in the Far East.
1945-47. at which point he recognised
that there could be no more sea
service for him. He therefore derided
to requalify as an aeronautical engi¬
neer and become involved in naval
aviation. For the next ten years, he
alternated staff and training appoint¬
ments wife practical engineering at
air stations and repair yards until
being appointed to command of fee
naval air station at Abbotrinch, near
Glasgow, where he was particularly
- Williams and fee Battle
of Cape Matapan. 1941:
opening phase, British
cruisers and destroyers
lay down smoke screens
noted for his cheerful fostering of
good relations with local people.
In June 1962 he was appointed
Director General (Aircraft) in the
Admiralty. The major issues occupy¬
ing him were the exploratory work
towards fee use of vertical takeoff
aircraft in carriers and fee purchase
of fee American F4 Phantom fighter.
The acquisition of the Rolls-Royce-
engined version of fee F4 was seen
then as a laie vote of confidence in fee
Navy's carrier programme—though
this was to be set aside in fee mid-
1960s by defence economies.
Retiring in 1965, Williams was
appointed CB. Among other activi¬
ties, he was a member of the Civil
Service Commission interview panel.
An engineer of influence. Williams
was described by a contemporary as
bring “enormously gregarious” —
not a man to miss a party or reunion.
He will be greatly missal at the final
closure dinner at the Royal Naval
Engineering College at Plymouth in
May which he had planned with his
son, who is engineer officer of fee
Royal Yacht Britannia.
David Williams married, in 1951,
Susan, widow of Surgeon-Comman¬
der H. Kempthome. She died in 1987;
he is survival by his two stepdaugh¬
ters and feeir son.

invalided out and spent the
remainder ; of the war. in fee
Friends’Ambulance Unit and.
the National Council of Social
Service; working wife those
made ' homeless by fee
bombing. .
Fronrt l946 to 1949 he,;
worked as a solicitor fer fee
Him Producers’ Guild and
feed fee Rank. Organisation.
In 1949 hie jrated the new
National Him Finance Corpo¬
ration (NFFC), launched by
Attlees yatmg President of fee
Board of Trade, Harold Wil¬
son. Its function was to make
loans tor the production of
British films, with fee rim of
resuscitating fee industry.
Terry had found his fifes
work. By 1956 he was secre¬
tary. to the corporation and
became its managing director
in 1958, a role he filled for
twenty years wife elan, vision
and judgment He was good at
picking winners' and some
projects turned into screen
classics. The NFPC became a
major factor in developing
new talent, including directors
such as Alan Parker, RicDey
Scott and Michael Apted.
Audiences round fee world
might never hear of John
Ttory, but they flocked to films
he helped to launch. These
included Genevieve, Room at
the Top. Saturday Night and
Sandfly Morning. Bugsy Ma¬
lone. Morgan — a Suitable
Case for Treatment, and Star¬
dust The range was eclectic,
from Joseph Loseys Accident
and The Servant to Hammer
horror. The film business
became a significant exporter.
He was also concerned to
; secure the future of an indus¬
try that can be alarmingly
fluid. Involved in fee estab¬
lishment of fee National F 8 m
School, he was one of its
governors from 1970 to 1981;
and of the London Interna¬
tiona] Him School, 1982-90. In
1975 Harold Wilson asked
Terry to chair fee Prime
Minister's working party on
the future of the British film
industry.
Wife Wilson's resignation
as Prime Minister in 1976,
some of fee more radical
recommendations, such as fee
establishment of a - British
Film Authority to take over fee
fibn functions of DTI and the
Department for Education,
were not acred an. But the
work of promoting govern¬
ment support continued in fee
interim action committee on
the film industry, with Lord
Wilson as chairman and Terry
as his deputy, until 1985; and
then through the British
Screen Advisory Council,
which remains fee industry’s
main interface wife govern¬
ment. Lord Attenborough
described Terry's contribution
as "an indefatigable crusader
for British cinema, a wise and
trusted guru for us all".
John Tfeny was knighted in
1976 and retired from NFPC in
1978. Although already 65. he
was invited to rejoin Denton
Hall & Burgin as a consultant
in film law and continued to
work there several days a
week, almost up to his death.
He acted for the Indian Gov¬
ernment in the production of
Gandhi .
He also became an energetic
governor of fee Royal Nat¬
ional College for the Blind. In
1983 he moved to Branscombe
in Devon, joining the church
choir and die local operatic
society, and bringing to the
village fee generous person¬
ality that made him so well-
liked in the film industry.
He was married for 55 years
to Joan Fell, who survives him
together wife their son and
daughter.
CHRISTOPHER FALKUS
Christopher Falfuis,
publisher, died of a heart
attack on March 29 aged
55. He was born on
January 13. (940.
CHRISTOPHER FALKUS
was fee kind of publisher who
is loved by his authors. He
was always at hand when
needed, with his enthusiasm,
his encouragement and his
painstaking advice.
He was one of fee twin soils
of the naturalist Hugh Fallcus.
After attending St Boniface’s
College. Plymouth, he went on
to University College London,
where he took a first and won
the Derby Prize for history (fee
previous winner had been
G. R. Elton}. From 1964 «to
J968 he was a lecturer in
British and European history
at the University of Queens¬
land. •
His move into publishing
came through his editorship,
after he returned to England,
of two part-works for the
British Printing Corporation:
a History of the 20ih Century
and a History of the English'
Speaking Peoples. In 1970, at
the age of 30. he was snapped
up by George Weidenfeld and
made head of the art and
illustrated book division of
Weidenfeld & Nicolson. He
was so successful there that
two years later he became
managing director of the firm.
Lady Antonia Fraser
described how Weidenfeld
said to her one day at about
this time: "I have a bright
young man who wants to put a
proposition to you." She asked
to be excused because she was
busy writing a book, but
Weidenfeld begged her to let
him come. In the course of
their meeting. Falkus — for it
was he — won her over with
his "gift of enthusiasm", as she
called it. and persuaded her to
take on fee editorship of his
first great brainchild, fee 30-
volume series of The Kings
and Queens of England. It
was a spectacular success,
wife not a single -volume
selling fewer than 200.000
copies. Falkus himself wrote
fee Charles II volume, and his
wife Gila fee Queen Anne .
He worked closely at
Weidenfeld with other authors
of the Pakenham family in¬
cluding Lady Antonia's moth¬
er Elizabeth Longford and her
brother Thomas Pakenham,
both of them also historians.
He developed both a spotting
and a humour list: the latter
included Morecambe and
Wise, fee Goodies. John
Cleese and “Henry Root".
His manner of working was
informal, but it led to harmo¬
nious staff relationships at
Weidenfeld and also at Associ¬
ated Book Publishers, which
he joined, as chairman of
Methuen General Books, in
1980. At Methuen he built up a
remarkable children’s list,
and introduced a series of joint
ventures with Thames Tele¬
vision which led to the publi¬
cation of The World at War
and The IOJJOO Day War. Sue
Townsend, Leslie Thomas and
Jflly Cooper were among other
authors he published.
A particular success at Me¬
thuen was Families and How
to Survive Them (1983) by John
Cleese and Robin Skynner. on
which he worked closely wife
the authors. Robin Skynner
has described how. just as
they were finishing the book.
Falkus remarked: "This is
supposed to be a book about
families, but there's not a
word about brothers and sis¬
ters in iu" Skynner concluded
that he and Cleese had uncon¬
sciously avoided all mention
of possible sibling rivals — but
feat Phlkus. as a twin, could
not be so forgetful. A new
section was speedily added.
At the beginning of 19®
Falkus started working for
Robert Maxwell as managing
director of the Macdonald
Group of publishers, where he
was also required to help with
the “authorised" biography of
Maxwell by Joe Haines. He
resigned after eight weeks. In
the summer of that year he
returned to Weidenfeld &
Nicolson as publishing direc¬
tor and remained there until
1992.
At fee end of 1991 he had a
heart attack, and he had
another one in January I99Z
He retired fee following May
though he continued to write
and edit from home, and
worked with Cleese and
Skynner on a sequel to fee
Families book. Life and How
To Survive It (J993).
■ Falkus was a keen sports¬
man. He was a county tennis
player for Devon with his twin
brother Malcolm, a member
of the MCC and a supporter of
Arsenal wife an encyclopaedic
knowledge of the dub’s hist¬
ory. He was also an enthusias¬
tic. if erratic pianist, who liked
accompanying his friends and
children on their cellos and
violins. They did not mind if
he got fee left hand wrong.

case his first interlocutor tells him that he has
a friend who wants a coachman or a

introduce him to this friend if he will walk up

The walk is not prolonged for many

likely in May.
The latest purchasing man¬

WORLD trade is heading for

sion in 1995. after its best year
for nearly two decades, foe
World Trade Organisation’s
first annual survey predicts.
The volume of world trade
in goods last year expanded by
9 per cent the fastest rate since
1976 and nearly three times
the 35 per cent growth m

The value of exports grow by
12 per cent topping E4.0UU

The WTO expects 1995 to
show above-average growth,

lates. The value of trade in ser¬
vices. which usually outpaces
goods, grew at only half foe
rate of merchandise last year.
The biggest boost to trade
growth came from Western
Europe, where the value of
exports and imports grew

European trade shrank in
1993. restricting the growth in
world trade to 3 per cent
The rising yen again hit
Japan’s exports. By volume,
they grew by only 2 per cent
last year, foe slowest of any
big economy, having changed
little in 1992-1993. The volume
of Japan’s imports, by con¬
trast, grew 13-5 per cent.

The United Nations Eco¬

Mercuiy fears
convergence of
BT and Cellnet
MERCURY One-2-One, the
third largest mobile-phone op¬
erator, has told Of tel, die
industry regulator, that the
biggest threat to competition
inthe market is the inevitable
convergence of British Tele¬
com and 60 per cent-owned
Cellnet.
Richard GosweU. managing
director of One-2-One. said the
coming together of BT and
Cellnet would “raise issues
about dominance and anti¬
competitive behavior. BT
controls more than 90 percent
of the residential telephone
market and Cellnet is only
sightly smaller than Voda¬
fone. the market leader.
Mr GosweU is particularly
concerned about joint billing,
whereby Cellnet customers
would receive a single bUl
from BT for their mobile and
home phones. A single biU. he
said, would be a powerful dis-

incentive to “chum.’' the in¬
dustry’s term far customers
dropping their service and
going to a com peti ting net¬
work. Reducing high chum
rates, currently about 25 per
cent a year, is one of the
mobile phone biggest chal¬
lenges. “Cellnet and BT are
the only ones that could offer
joint billing, so it is a competi¬
tive issue.” he said.
BT and Cellnet have no
immediate plans for joint bill¬
ing. but trials could occur
within the next two years.
“Joint billing is an aspiration
for the industry, and it is
looking most feasible far BT
and Cellnet," said William
Ostrom, a Cellnet spokesman.
BT and Cellnet have a pro¬
ject called “fixed-mobile con¬
vergence." which is examining
ways to combine certain ser¬
vices. One. called ftrsonal As¬
sistant, which allows Cellnet
and BT customers to be traced
with a single phone number,
is now being tested.
BT hopes to forge closer
financial links with Cellnet as
well. It has made no secret
that it would like to buy
Securteor*s 40 per cent stake in
Cellnet. but would need per¬
mission from the Department
of Trade and Industry to do so.
Separately, Cellnet reported
that it added 715.000 new
customers in its March 31
financial year, raising the total
number to 1.73 million.
Vodafone remained in first
place, with 1.82 million cus¬
tomers at the end of March.

that dial it would unseat

LABOUR yesterday signalled a shift in its plans for
industrial training by ottering alternatives to fts proposed
training levy. Business leaders have been pressing Labour
to modify its proposals, under which aD employers, except
very small ones, would be required to invest a "minimum
. amount” in training— previously put by Labour at up to 1
per cent of turnover — or contribute to a training levy.
Harriet Harman. Shadow Employment Secretary, last
night put forward three options within a dear commftment,
to a statutory approach. These, are a revised levy with
greater flexibility, reflecting the- growth of smaller
companies; an employee entitlement to. perhaps, five days*

employers and employees would contribute to. an account
to pay for training.which employees could take to oewjolbs.

Profits from chemicals grew
by 34 per cent to £48.9 million

24 MARKETS / ANALYSIS
THE TIMES TUESDAY APRIL 41995
Km
Shares shrug off turmoil
on foreign exchanges
SHARES and gilts staged a
resilient performance in the
face of further volatility on the
world's currency markets and
Friday's 60-point fall on Wall
Street
The equity market recov¬
ered from a hesitant start to
end the day on a positive note
with the FT-SE 100 index
finishing 52 higher at 3,143.1.
But turnover levels remained
on the low side. By the dose of
business a total of 494 million
shares had changed hands but
this figure had been swollen
by last-minute bed and break¬
fast transactions designed to
establish tax losses before the
financial year-end.
Selling pressure among the
institutions was kept to a
minimum as the second quar¬
ter of the year began. Glaxo
finned 5p to 711p after approv¬
al from the US Food and Drug
Administration to market
Imbrex, its anti-migraine
treatment in tablet form.
Northern Electric stood out
with a rise of 14p to 763p as
dissident shareholders contin¬
ued to apply pressure to the
group after the aborted bid by
Trafalgar House. Calls have
been made for an extraordi¬
nary general meeting.
Shares of the independent
television and radio broad¬
casting companies enjoyed se¬
lective support with the
Government intending to
bring forward legislation al¬
lowing media cross-holdings.
Brokers are hopeful that such
a move could lead to a wave of
speculative buying. Gains
were seen in ChDtern Radio,
25pto228p. HTV Group. 3p to
167p. Scottish Television, 21p
to 458p. Ulster Television. 20p
to 689p. and Yorkshire Tele¬
vision. 20p to 437p.
Shares of Govett & Co. the
fund manager, jumped 26p to
285p as a “for sale” sign went
up. The group said it is in talks
with a number of parties
about the sale of its John
Govett fund management
business in London and
Govett Asset Management in
San Francisco.
This latest move follows
Commerzbank's bid for Jupi¬
ter Tyndall, ip firmer at 419p.
Dealers are also patiently
awaiting a bid of about 230p a
share for Sharelink, die tele¬
phone-based private-client
stockbroker, from Charles
Schwab, the American broker.
Sharelink rose 12p to 219p.
A profits warning left VHE

on outstanding contracts and
was likely to hit net profits by
£12 million. The City was
expecting pre-tax profits of up
to £4.5 million but the group
said this target will nos be met
However, profits were unlike¬
ly to be below £3 million
against £3.8 million last time.
ABN Amro Hoare Govett,
the broker, is believed to have
completed a review of the

circulating its findings to cli¬
ents. Apparently it urging

ferred payments of up to E52.8

BURMAH CASTROL has been through so
much pain over its chemicals business that it
can be excused a little crowing over this years
recovery in the business which saw profits
base, has the advantage of being relatively
little affected by industrial.cydes.
If the jury is still out on Brnmah'S product
riScatu '
up a point to 6- per cenL Much of the
improvement is down to volume gains
flowing through a business whose costs nave
been driven down. The operational gearing
should help again this year as the recovery in
chemicals emtinnes.
. None of this will sway doubters who still
wonder why Bunnah is muddying its
impressive Castro! lubricants business with
such a volatile and unrelated business like
specialty chemicals. Bunnah will be pushed
bard to get an average return on sates of 10
cent from the latter over the cycle while
its. which has a strong consumer
diversifeatrou. the verdict is a sotid thumbs
upQngeograpihkaleRpansK^
proving a leading profits earner, particularly
welcome in view of the dreaiy cwtlook in
Europe. Hrc question faring Bunnah is how
to keep the Asian train moving as aaiipetitiaa
hots .up — the-company now faces some 12
competitors m the dnceprotected Indian
maAet^— while new markets, like Qima,will
be stow to develop. Bunnah is moving intora

Highland
Distilleries
THE question
minds in the City ahead
the Highland Distilleries in¬
terims yesterday was the
extent to which die company,
which has adopted a pos¬
ition of lofty disdain during
earlier downturns in the
highly cyclical Scotch
whisky market has got its
hands dirty from disc ount -
mg at the tail end of last year.
The answer Is not modi
but probably more than in
previous price ware. Certain¬
ly, Highland insisted it had
held back from the sort of
discounts widely available to
wholesalers from owners of
the cheaper brands.
. But it was forced to see the
gap between The Famous
Grouse, its main brand, and
die run of the pack widen
from its normal lewd of 30p
to 50p in the run-up to
Christinas, when the bulk of
the discou nting in Scotch
takes place, before it took,
art ip n-
Famous Grouse sales
therefore held up wdl is the
UK. increasing jS per cent in
the first half and showing
some improvement in profits
in spite of marketing spend
up by a quarter. Disappoint¬
ment with profits across the
gruup was behind the fall in
the share, price yesterday.
Highland shares now sell on
17 j times’ Mining s. stiQ a 20
per cent premium to the rest
of the'sector. As a pure
Scotch play, they should only
be' viewed positively it as
some forecasters suggest, the
next upturn in that market is
not far off.
SOMETHING TO GROUSE ABOUT r- «op
1—440
Apr May Jun Jut Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar
Camas
THERE were few surprises
from Camas, which is no bad
thing for a newly listed
company. European profits
forged ahead while the US,
excluding acquisitions, made
no real headway largely
because of faltoff in volumes
after completion of Denver
Airport Nevertheless, it was
pleasing to see the company
making the most of better
mark** conditions, particu¬
larly in Britain, which is still
its most important region.
Operating margins rose to
4B per cent from 3.4 per cent
on tiie back of higher vol¬
umes as wdl as increased
prices. Whether these volume
rises will be maintained in
the current year remains to
be seen. Recent strong'de¬
mand from housebuilders is
likely to tail off with housing
starts expected to decline. But
Camas has been able to push
through price increases and
with further opportunities to
cut costs, it should hold
margins even if volumes dip.
The prospects for progress in
the US are less promising.
Increased commercial activi¬
ty is likely to be offset by a
decline in residential build¬
ing activity and profits from
the region in the current year
will be similar to 1994. On a
prospective p/e of about 14
times, the shares are fairly
valued. . . . .
Morgan
Crucible
MORGAN CRUCIBLE'S
performance in 1994
a touch pedestrian,
with operating profits up by
just 3 per cent to £83.7 mil¬
lion. This did nett deter the
City, which marked up. its
shares fay 4 per cent yester¬
day in a fit erf enthusiasm, a
sharp contrast to the disdain
h has lavished on other in¬
dustrial manufacturers
recently.
The reason behind such
optimism was Morgan’s
news that its order book is 10
per cent higher than a year
ago, helped partly by the car
industry's strong demand for
electric motors. While the
order book only stretches out,
six weeks, such a sharp rise,
in demand is a promise of
widening margins and a.
jump in profits..
Morgan .is halfway
through the task of recydmg
the £67 million it raised from
the sate of the Holt Lloyd car
care business last year. The
group has been adept at rein¬
vesting quickly and is
minimising the dilution
caused by the disposal. The
group is wdl advanced in
finding acquisitions in tech-
nical ceramics and speciality
materials.' The niche manu¬
facturing businesses that
Morgan is keen on are a&l|
ready expanding group™
margins. .. -
The growth in Morgan's
order book could propel prof¬
its to £85 miTHrtn this year, a
17 per cent rise. That would
put tiie shares on less than 13
times earnings, which is
inexpensive.

Technological change afoi global
competition arenothmg new. What is
new is that deregulation fend a harsh
indiistrial-rdarkms dimate have given .
a signalto employers feat they do not
have to give proper regard to job
security. .
Insecurityhas been encouraged over
the past 16 years by a conscious
Government pursuit of a policy of
Labour market deregulation. This has
been finked toeight pieces of legislation
hostile , to trade unkms and has -
released eruployars from -any obliga¬
tion to consult with thdr workforces.
The big empfoyers used to be the
ones who provided secure; and after
pensionable, employment, but they are
the rates how- cutting jobs. MeanwhDe.
the new jobs that arebeing created are
in snmlt firms and are mainly part
time, short-term contract, freelance or
sdfanptoyed. ...
The Governments own figures re¬
veal in fee Labour Force Survey that
for the year to autumn 1994 1 onty 13 per
cent of the net increase in employment
was in permanent jobs — that was a
mere 39j300 for fee whole of Britain.
Fbr foeresfof fee jobs, 46 per cent were
temporary and. 41. per cent were setf-
emptoyed. Tliis residte from’fee Gov¬

“flexible"labaur market,
Such a level of flexfoaUty. and its

savings above the level to receive
income support and will see their
savings reduced rapidly.
These worries are added to by
concerns about the cutback in income
support for mortgage payers in Octo¬
ber. This is added to by the insecurity
of maintaining a home. There are 1.25
million households in negative equity,
and 250,000 mortgages are more than
six months in arrears. Many middle-
class families fear
what they perceive as
the decline in fee qual¬
ity of the health and
education services and
pensions and benefits.
Many have made pro-
viston through fee pri¬
vate sector and are
now facing the pros¬
pect cf no longer befog
able to pay the bills.
Despite fee evident
recovery feat is taking
place, particularly in
fee export rector, it is
equally evident feat ,
this tias not fed Monfctsed
through to create the
famed “feel good" factor. Voters have
long memories. John Major won fee
1992 election mainly because he per¬
suaded enough people that the country
was set for economic recovery. But fee
recession continued to bite There have
now been two deep recessions under
this Government In many ways they
were similar. Both Bowed from eco¬
nomic policy failures. Yet they were
also different The first great recession
Monks: seeking new deal
of fee early 1980s mainly hit towns and
regions dependent on aedinmg indus¬
tries. The victims were largely manual
workers and job losses were geographi¬
cally concentrated.
While Britain suffered unnecessarily
badly, it was still impossible to deny
feat a worldwide restructuring of
many heavy industries was taking
place. Even wife a Government sym¬
pathetic ' towards shipbuilding and
I steelmaking towns
there would have been
inevitable changes in
Britain's industrial
structure.
The second reces¬
sion has been called
by some “the classless
recession". Job losses
were as likely to hit
prosperous towns in
southern England as
defence procurement
wasaa, retailing went
into decline and con¬
struction dried up*
~ . , Even people in se-
ig new deal cure jobs could see
that their children had
few prospects j of a career in the
traditional sense, and at best could
hope only for a succession of tempo¬
rary and insecure jobs. Every company
seemed to be in a continual process of
downsizing or ddayering.
In short, middle England has come
to feel betrayed — a very powerful
emotion that is unlikely to be shifted by
even the most uplifting statistics.
Middle England’s residents had
bought the rhetoric of economic mir¬
acle and confused the credit boom of
the early 1980s wife a permanent
improvement m their living standards.
Instead they have witnessed Brit¬
ain’s social divisions becoming sharp¬
er, as fee Rowntree inquiry into
Incrane and Wealth showed. The
distribution of incrane is more unequal
now than at any time since the Second
World War. There has been no “trickle-
down" of wealth: and there is no
evidence that the widening income gap
has increased economic growth and
raised fee living standards of the poor.
In addition, employment is increas¬
ingly polarised between households
with two earners and a growing
number where nobody has a job.
Only a new approach wife a new
policy direction from the Government
will restive these dilemmas for all the
British people. We need to see fee
reinstatement of full employment as a
central polity objective, along with the
adoption fee European Union* Soria)
Chapter.
British employees should also enjoy
minimum labour standards, including
a national minimum wage and the
right to representation at work, both
collective and individual. These objec¬
tives could be achieved by embracing
“social partnership", between employ¬
ers, their workforces, and Government
as a means of buildfog a new consensus
within the world of work, and creating a
shared vision for fee future.

Barings chiefs
fall decently
on their swords
Peter Baring and Andrew Tuckey take
an honourable exit says Jon Ashworth
L ast Christmas, Peter
Baring may well have
been toasting his im¬
minent retirement as chair¬
man of the Barings banking
group after a respectable
run. His deputy, Andrew
Tuckey, could look forward
to becoming fee first ‘‘out¬
sider’’to take the helm in fee
bank's 230-year history.
But events unfold wife
frightening speed in fee
City, and, yesterday, both
men put down fee glasses,
bowed to the inevitable and
cashed in feeir chips.
Mr Baring. 59, has done
“fee honourable thing" and
resigned ahead of fee publi¬
cation of fee Bank of En¬
gland’s report on the
Barings collapse. Mr
Tuckey, 51, steps down as
deputy chairman, his crown¬
ing achievement snatched
from his grasp, and is effect¬
ively barred from pursuing
a fresh career until the
Bank’s report sees the light
of day.
The affair has put an
untimely end to one of the
City’s more unlikely double
acts. Mr Baring, in his solid.
unostentatious _
way, was the
ideal man to TllC
carry the
Barings ban- baiT6C
ner forward ,
into the nine- rreSn
ties. Quiet and . ]r| f

when he was just 24. His
father. Frauds, was killed in
action in 1940. His mother.
Lady Rose Baring, 85. is a
sometime Lady in Waiting
to the Queen.
Never one to give inter¬
views, he summed up his
career to a reporter wife fee
words: “1 have been with
Barings all my working life;
feat is all you need to know."
He became rather more
talkative in the wake of the
banks collapse, muttering
darkly about conspiracies
and suggesting that Nick
Leeson may have been in
cahoots with an unnamed
third party. His claims were
greeted with scepticism by
bankers and dealers.
He earned about £1.2 mo¬
tion in 1993 and remains
deputy chairman of Provi¬
dent Mutual and chairman
of the British Merchant
Banking and Securities
Houses Association.
Much of fee blame for the
coDapse. fairly or unfairly,
falls squarely on Mr
Tuckeys shoulders. He was

to Lloyds Bank.
Born and educated in the
former Southern Rhodesia,
he qualified as an account¬
ant and then did a two-year
spell wife British American
Tobacco. He joined Baring
Brothers in 1968, becoming
a director within five years,
and served as managing
director during the eighties.
Intensely ambitious, he
has been variously des¬
cribed as impetuous and
short-tempered yet able to
turn on fee charm when
necessary. He is said to have
developed a taste for fee
Orient during a stint in
Hong Kong. He earned a
reputed £1.67 million in 1993,
and used his wealth to
indulge his passion for op¬
era, as a director of the
Royal Opera House and
treasurer of fee Friends of
Covent Garden.

circles. An-

" His younger
brother, James, is chief exec¬
utive of MEPC, the property
group.
Mr Baring, as be reflects
on recent events, could be
forgiven a sense of d4ja vu.
It is almost two years to fee
day since he accepted the
resignation of another for¬
mer Barings high-flyer, the
enormously well-paid Chris¬
topher Heath. Mr Heath
earned more than £3 million
in 1989 as head of Baring
Securities, making him Brit¬
ain’s highest paid employee,
but relations with the bank
turned sour aftera spectacu¬
lar run of success with
Japanese warrants came toa
crashing halL Japan has
come round again, and the
actions of one man are back
in the frame: only this time it
is Mr Baring who has fallen
on his sword.
Mr Tuckey. meanwhile,
may have spotted another
irony in the whole saga. City
headhunters are busy with
another former Zimbab¬
wean, a mere five years his
junior and with a fleeting
spell in banking to his name:
one Rupert Pennant-Rea.
(Company purpose embraces service as well as profit Directors’ pay
From Mr Kenneth Armi tage
Sir, Mr John Argenti offers
some simple analogies (Busi¬
ness Letters. March 28) to
support his case feat organ¬
isations exist purely for fee
benefit of the major
shareholder.
Is he suggesting, therefore,
that ffter House of Commons
exists for politicians, feat the
House of Lords exists for their
Lordships, and that the police
exist for criminals?
All organisations have more
than one objective. As Henry
Fbrd, the founder erf the Ebrd
Motor Company, suggested,
“it -has beat thought feat
business existed for profit
that is wrong. Business exists
for service. It is a professfon,
and must have recognised
professional etifics. to violate
which declasses man" and
“profits belong in three places;
they belong to fee business—
to keep it. steady, progressive
and sound. They belong to fee
men who helped produce
them. And they belong also, in
part to the public. A success¬
ful business is profitable to all
three of these interests —
planner, producer and
purchaser”. .
All organisations are part¬
nerships, not equal perhaps,
but partnerships nevertheless.
This appears to be the ap¬
proach adopted in most Japa-
nese and German companies
and probably explains why
they are more successful Oh,
and management consultants
and theorists exist for them¬
selves — period. ,
Yours faithfully.

From MrE. /. Stnwgtwqy
Sir, 1 appreciate (but do not
agree wife) Mr Argenti posi¬
tive approach to fee clarity of
company purpose. Surely, in¬
creased shareholder value and
the profit motive must sit
comfortably wife other key
dements in the business equa¬
tion, viz employees, national
and local politics, social and
local interests and, of course,
customers and suppliers.
Unless these key dements
are recognised and “carried",
1 cannot see much of a long¬
term future these days for fee
type of company envisaged by
Mr Argenti. Regardless of fee
point of view held, these
issues deserve serious and on¬
going debate, and, thank
goodness, at least one forum
in London, fee Strategic Plan¬
ning Society, regularly ad¬
dresses them.
Yours faithfully,

NSPCC scheme shows howto give unwanted shares to charity
From Mr Russell Pends*
Sir, Mr IP. Simon? idea or
tvmlmc unwanted shares has
a number of attractions to
shareholders and, no doubt,
would benefit fee chosen char¬
ities (Letters. March 28). How¬
ever, fee concept of holding
shares in, Nfcwco. pending
sales in fee fiaure, is fraught
with dangers and is likdy to
&D foul of PSA regulations.
Neweo wiB lave to prove
that it can provide adequately
endures, safe custody ancTin’
aprance safeguards to protect
donors’ tnieresB while &ares
are held in “trusT. Wouki
Neweo be required to be
registered wife anSROTff so,
a suitably qualified compli¬
ance officer, and other persm-
nd. .would also be required.
All this would be expensive,
resulting- in fee , erosion of
monies available for distribu¬
tion to charities.
Just over ,a year ago, I
organised a scheme fra 1 fee
benefit of the National Society
for fee Prevention of Cruelty to
Children (NSPCC) wheeby
clients of .Brown Shipley
Stodferoklng could.donate
their unwanted shares to the
charity at no cod to them-
selves. 1 believe feat since its
inception fee NSPCC has re¬
ceived several. thousand
pounds' worth of shares. More
importantly- it has made use¬
ful contacts wife a large
number of potential donors,
some of whom have pledged
part of their future dividend
income to be donated regular¬
ly to the NSPCC Ultimately, I
suppose, there is nothing to
stop my clients instructing me
to pass on large portions of
feeur portfolios to the NSPCC
in order to be tax-efficient
against inheritance tax.
Judging by fee responses 1
receive from investors. 1 can
promise Mr Simon that a need
does exist, and its huge, un¬
tapped potential recognised fry
those of us who care for our
dtikhm

From Professor Emeritus
P.G. Forrester
Sir, You report (March 29)
that Alastair Ross Goobey.
chief executive of Postel Invest¬
ment Management, is saying:
“We do have a role to play —
but not at fee level of setting
individual executives’ pay."
This is, in general, obviously
right. Managers' pay should
be determined by more senior
management
But the fees of directors, as
distinct from fee salaries of
managers who happen also to
be directors, should in princi¬
ple be determined by those
they are elected to represent—
namely the shareholders. In¬
stitutional shareholders
should not abdicate this
responsibility.
A special case arises when,
as is so often regrettably fee
case, that the chairman of the
board is also effectively chief
executive and the board con¬
sists mainly of his subordi¬
nates. Who then, other titan
fee shareholders, is going to
prevent him taking as much
as he wants?
Yours faithfully,
P.G. FORRESTER.

Interpreting dole data
From Mr John Shedden
Sir, With regard to the points
raised by John Wells (Busi¬
ness Letters, March 28). one
wonders how much of the
employment service’s success
in reducing the figures of
unemployed is attributable to
the weeding out of bogus
claimants.
Yours faithfully.

A staging of Irvine
Welsh's Trainspotting
lifts the lid on the
sordid side of Edinburgh
Far too young to be old
^ " GRANVILLE DAVES
With his new novel
in the shops and the
next in his head, the
octogenarian
Robertson Davies
talks to Jim McCue
H ave any authors written
realty good novels in
their eighties? Robertson
Davies cant think of any.
Not that you would take Davies
himself for 81. so there is no feeling of
his tempting fate when he says that
once he has finished promoting his
fourteenth novel. The Cunning Man,
he will be embarking on a further fat
ficrion.
It will be about growing old and its
discoveries. "And I hope to serve it up
hot and strong." he says. He's
impatient with the image of a mellow
sunset of nostalgia. “The old are
tormented by all kinds of things you
might think they’d got over. Your
feelings don't get old. If you hobbled
up to a pretty girl and asked for a
kiss, she’d push you in the gutter, but
the desire is still there.” He cites
Hardy:
But Time, to make me grieve.
Part steals, lets pan abide;
And shakes this fragile frame at
eve
With throbbings of noontide.
By this reckoning, Davies did not
dedicate himself to (action until mid-
aftemoon. He had already had
careers as an actor (under Tyrone
Guthrie at the Old Vic), as a
newspaper editor, and as first Master
of Massey College at the University
of Toronto. Meanwhile he had writ¬
ten 17 plays, which he modestly calls
old-fashioned, although one was
performed at Pitlochrylast year.
As a writer of comedies, he thinks
tragedy is over-rated. Even the
Greeks are not all they are cracked
up to be (if only Oedipus had talked
things over ...) and he complains
that so much modem poetry and
fiction is a load of fashionable grief.
He does not like books to be bitter or
polemical, or to fall short of his own
perfect manners. “Kingsley Amis
never writes a novel without belly¬
aching about something," he says.
“It’s an awful bore." The characters
in Davies's books, accordingly, are
all more or less sympathetic, and
there is no gritted conflict or torment.
After three days in London he had
already seen both current Stoppard
plays (“superb"), and was gleeful,
even Eloatful. about the portrayals of
academic biographers on the scent of
their literary prey. For Davies is
himseir the subject of a 700-page
biography by Judith Skelton Grant,
recently published m Canada. “It's an
excellent life of somebody else." he
says. "But I’ve really lived inside
myself, and she cant get in there.
Very good writer though she is. she
wouldn't know how to try."
Since his late start, the novels have
come thick and fast — especially
thick. He also has a fondness for
three-deckers, from the earliest. The
Deptford Trilogy, to the most recent
— The Cornish Trilogy (the middle
volume of which. What's Bred In the
Bone, was nominated for the Booker
“The old are tormented by all kinds of things you might think they'd got over,” Robertson Davies says. “Your feelings don't getokP-
Prize). The novels have to be volumi¬
nous. he says, because as you
imagine a situation, you see more
and more ramifications. He takes the
method-actor's approach. "You have
to take in an enormous amount that
you don’t use — where does the
character work? where is he going to
eat tonight? — which doesnT neces¬
sarily get into the book."
But you can be sure that a lot of
Davies's own recherche researches
will get in. This time it's cannibalism
and comics, book-collecting and reli¬
gious dressing-up fa chasuble — you
know, one of those cloak affairs ..
"Advent — you know, the Christmas
season in the Church ...”). And
particularly there is a lot of humane
wisdom 3bout medicine, which Da¬
vies regards as an an.
Illness, he says, is not the trouble,
bur a symptom of die trouble. "We
use amazing expressions, such as
’catching a cold'. Now why do you
‘catch’ a cold? You grab it out of the
air because you need it for some
reason."
Typically, then, the novel contains
a bibliography of holistic healing:
Paracelsus. Robert Burton, William
Osier. Thomas Browne. Whatever
the subject — and he knows about
everything except politics—Davies is
a great name-popper. Every couple of
pages, up they pop. to be explained in
that way now habit- _
ual in newspapers.
which feel obliged to C Wh\
say “Andrew Mar- J
veil, the famous Celtch
poet".
Of course there Rprat
are splendid things ucvai
in the new book — nfwi
the simile about law- I1CCU
yers moving “like crirnc , T
molasses in Janu- oUIIlC I
ary”: “the young ^_
men who dangled
after her" — although perhaps not
enough to sustain 460 pages. So
Davies vamps and rehashes whatev¬
er is uppermost in his exceptionally
well-stocked miscellany of a mind.
He delights in conducting cultural
tours, especially of neglected land¬
marks. Throuah the IWIs and 1950s
6 Why do you
catch a cold?
Because you
need it for
some reason 3
he wrote book columns for the
Canadian press, and his knowledge
of out-of-the-way literature is
tremendous.
When academia called him in 1962,
his specialist subject was drama from
1660 to 1914. precisely because it is not
_ a great period. So
what did hold the
io VOU stage, and why?
J After afi, he told his
Pfjl/J? students, the plays
that turned out to be
p vnil perishable master-
c j uu pieces can reveal
t fnr what people wished
L 1L/I and feared, and so
9 illuminate other
realms of literature.
Gifted failures fas¬
cinate him. (Lots of
them apparently emigrate to Canada
for a fresh sum.) The Cunning Man
contains a pitying but not patronising
sketch of a lady sculptor who does not
quite have what it takes. She and
Chips, her lesbian lover, are friends
of "Dearest Barb" Hepworth, and we
are given all too many unconvincing
letters from Chips about the disap¬
pointments of “Dear One”. (The
names that “Rob” gives his charac¬
ters are often embarrassing tike this.)
What, then, should such second-
rate artists do? They sometimes
become embittered, he replies, "but
there is a place in foe world for talent
that is not of the highest order”. They
should carry on as best they can. And
that is what he does, too. trusting
neither those who make a cult of him
nor those who would tear him down.
Journalism, he says, was a fine
school for a novelist- For 20 years he
edited a Canadian newspaper owned
by his father, after writing his first
news report at the age of 11.
His first reader is his wife. Brenda,
who sat knitting during our inter¬
view. She advises him. he says, when
the writing is becoming inflated —
what she calls “lifeworltical and
masterpiedcal". Perhaps she in¬
dulges him too much. Bui truly, "it
takes an awful lot of talent to be even
second-rate”

Had it not been for a Soviet bigwig,

D uring its occupation of
Eastern Europe, the
Communist machine
actually did something right at
least once. According to Pavd
Smok, foe founder and chief
choreographer of Chamber
Ballet Prague, his company
might not be around today if it
had not been for a Soviet
bigwig making an "executive
decision”.
Smok met the man in 1983,
when he was invited to Lenin¬
grad. "I made a choreography
for the small __
ballet company
in Leningrad”. C YOU
he says, "and
this man had 1166(1
seat it and
wanted to fVin
know more uwa
about my com- rrprmlf
pany here in pcopit
Prague. When I ctgop
told him about Stage
foe conditions
and how little really
money there —
was, he was
shocked and said he’d fix it 1
thought, ‘Sure, big talk.' But
he started a big action through
the Soviet Ministry of Culture
and in M days —14 days !—we
had a subsidy. So l am foe
only one person in Prague who
can say the Soviet Union
helped me."
Surprisingly, there seem to
have been no strings attached
to the money. "There was not a
problem with what I wanted to
say in my choreography
because, to them, it was just
ballet.” Smok bats the word
into foe air as if It were a fly*
"You see. ballet was not inter¬
esting. not important enough.
To than what was important
was television and cinema and
newspapers. - Sb^ they never
paid attention to me."
Given the direct emotional
impact of Sack’s choreogra¬
phy, such bureaucratic indif¬
ference is something of a
surprise—not least because of
his penchant for nationalist
composers. The eight dances
being presented in two separ
rate programmes at Sadler’s
Wells Theatre from tonight
have scores by Smetana, JanA-
Cek or Dvorak. The angle
exception is a comedic piece
done to Mozart and. as Smok
proudly points out, he has a
legitimate claim to Mozart
because his comp any 's home
— Prague’s National Theatre
— is where Don Giovanni had
its first performance in 1787.
An energetic man of 67,
Smok started out as a figure
skater, becoming junforcham-
pion of the Czechoslovak Re¬
public. While studying for a
degree in engineering, he was
“seduced by the theatre”. He
became a professional actor,
but gradually found himself
not too much for touring yeti
stiD small enough to be'
moving towards dance and
established his first group in
1964. Along the way he has
directed operas, films and
television.
. This diverse background
helps to explain why be feds
so deeply that dance must be
more than just a series of
shapes. He creates characters,
is in t ere sted in relationships
and prefers dancers who are
not afraid to wear foeir hearts
on their sleeves. "Ballet is not
ntily ballet,” he insists. "It is
-• 1 theatre; 'It has
to have rneft
6 You do not £*«..- to
need more JSJUE
than 16 ^ bu ^i
people on the ff dSScS
stage if they ^“moreS
really dance 5
_____ really dance
and, - besides,
that is exactly the sum which is
not too much for touring yet is
still small enough to be a
family."
People, namely his parents
and his brother, are why
Smok has stayed in Prague.
He spent three seasons (1970-
73) as artistic di rector of foe
Basle Ballet, in Switzerland,
but decided to go home, estab¬
lishing his current group in
1975. It has always operated cm
a shoestring, which is foe
main reason why the reper¬
toire is top-heavy with his own
works. Seven of the eight
pieces on show in London are
by Smok; foe eighth — Eve¬
ning Songs —is by Jiri Kylian,
artistic director of Nether¬
lands Dance Theatre. ^
“1 have no money for oufnde
choreographers. 1 can pay for
one small ballet **arh year.
That means we can get some¬
body only if they do ft as a
favour. Like in the case of Jut
because heis my friend and he
is a Czech, so he helps us,"
And foe future? “life
around foe company is very
different now, that's very
pleasant and very nice. But the
work has not changed very
much. The only sponsor used
to be the Communist Party.
Today if you get no money
from one sponsor you go to
another."
Tire company's London visit
is being underwritten by Bank
Austria: state funding has
been cut in half. "But now it is
so much easier to go abroad.
Now we are just Ete you, just a
passport and bye-bye.”

A MODEL of a dry at night
expands across one section
of the gallery. Light pushing
up and out of the windows of
simplified cardboard blocks
throws a reassuring glow
onto chalk-dusty “streets"
Photographs by Hugo
Glendinning of people
asleep in bed are arranged
on continuous chalk-covered
blackboard. The effect is
mesmeric; a sleepy
broken only occasion allyby
the mutterings of members
of the cast of Fbrced Enter¬
tainment. who sit in the next
room around a dusty table
speaking out invented direc¬
tions for a notional journey
across an imaginary place.
A successful combination of
many different media pro¬
vides a strangely somnam-
bulant overview.

□ ANDREW Stahl has been
using the same questionable
subject-matter for years. He
makes huge pictures in

AROUNDTHE a
Galleries «
woman takes up the greater r
proportion of the canvas t
surface. Very much smaller- i
scale fighter planes, helicop- 1
ters, temples or fountains
hover and progress around
these enormities like battling
bugs. Stahl now works with
a greater variety of spatial
illusion. Oceans recede,
storm clouds bank up. and
transparent cities glow
around heightened edges.
His persistence with such
full frontal and awkward
imagery has paid off. Tne
work has settled down to
match the vague with the
exact, the “foreign" with the
familiar.

□ THE seven artists repre¬
sented in New Art from
Cuba at the Whitechapel
• work with a great vanety of
s material and style. Al-
i though, of course., there js a
* familiarity to their method
, and procedure, many artists
use the specific and local,
and even educative, to good
effect. Fernando Rodrigue
carves a straightforward but
nonetheless detailed narra¬
tive out of lumpy wood in a
deliberate play on souvenir
plaques and popular rebels.
Tania Bruguera makes the
Cuban flag up out ?t
snippings of human hair,
while Pedro Alvarez paints
dilapidated American im¬
ports and workers’ banners
against a backdrop of colo¬
nial Havana.

□ NEW Brazilian Art at the
October Gallery could be
called Old Brazilian Art in
that it is rooted in “timeless
abstraction. Although the art
is undoubtedly an adamant
result of individual self-ex¬
pression, the effect is a
- melting pot of international
, language. .

Courts determine and impose sentences.
Will magistrates also have the time to
supervise the detail of the penalties?
Michael Howard's new rules for policing and magistr ates' courts came into effect on April I
The new provisions will change
the way policing is organised in
Britain. Since 1964. fee size of police
authorities has been controlled by
local authorities. Two thirds of the
members were elected by cauncDr
tors from among themselves, with
the other one third appointed from
the focal magistracy. The Home
Secretary had only nominal powers
over local policing. Under the new
Act, police authorities will have 17
members, of whom three will be,
magistrates, nine councillors and
five “independent” members-
pomtedfrcmalisrproducedlocaUy
but shorn info a shortlist by the
Home Secretary. : ;•••
- The independent members are
si?topsed “tor^i«sentthe interests,
crfawiderarigeofpeopfewifemthe
community in the police area” and
possess relevant skills, knowledge
and experience. Quite bow the
Home Secretary interprets such
criteria may be judged by his
.selection of Sir John Quinton to
bead the first Metropolitafi Police
Committee. Sir John is a former
banker who does not live in London
and who professes no special
knowledge of policing. His forte, be
says, is “fee setting of budgets and
monitoring performance”.
The changes enable the Home
. Secretary to exercise imprecedenr-
. ed influence over local policing. The
Mice Act of 1964 has been amend¬
ed, permitting him by order to
“determine objectives for the polic¬
ing of the areas of aO police
authorities”. The annual local po¬
licing plans drawn up by fee police
authorities will have to acknowl¬
edge the objectives set by the Home
Secretary. So the Act not only
allows for the Home Secretary*
political objectives to be imposed on
local forces, it also introduces his
right to direct police authorities to
set “performance targets" for the
pursuance of these objectives.

may now have to demonstrate
some conformity with government
political objectives. In a time of
moral panic, for instance, fee
Home Secretary may wish to

be a priority.
There is one final section, not yet
implemented, allowing for com¬
mercial sponsorship of the police.
Under this a force will be able —in
connection with its duties — to
^accept gifts of money or loans of
other property. We can now look
forward to policing sponsored by
whichever company makes the best

or a second-hand car firm. Whai

ignores. Perhaps any problems this
generates wflj be deared up in yet

T he Home Secretary is at it
again. A new set of guide¬
lines to toughen community
service sentences has now been
followed with a Green Paper
proposing a single more effective
community sentence to replace
existing community punishments.
JPS have had to cope with four Acts
in six years — the Children Aar
1989, the Criminal Justice Acts of
1991 and 1993 and the Criminal
Justice and Public Order Act 1994.
These necessitated a heavy, even
onerous, commitment to training,
so it is not surprising if they are
weary at the prospect of yet more
legislation.

tiie Probation Service providing
packages of supervision from
which courts can select punish¬
ments tailored to individual
offenders.
In principle. JPs might welcome
greater sentencing discretion. But
there are already concerns about
fee practicalities. As Rosemary
Thomson. Magistrates’ Asso¬
ciation chairman, says, “It all
turns on what giving the courts
'more say* means and on what a
'more active role* turns out to
imply.
“It would be very difficult for us
to have oversight of fee everyday
implementation of a community
sentence. And we need to work out
with the Probation Service what is
practicable. If we can't resolve feat,
we shall urge fee Home Secretary
not to legislate in the terms
proposed because we don't want
powers we cannot use."
Magistrates will welcome her
statement One remarked: “It’s up
to fee Probation Service to specify
exactly what fee criminals should
do. This idea is rather like requir¬
ing judges to make frequent prison
visits to see what is happening to
the people they have sentenced. An
overview is aiwav
this kind of detail seems totally
impracticable."
Benches will differ in what they
want an offender to do. But feat
aside, the proposals look problem¬
atic. As another JP put it “Courts
cannot and should not impose
sentences which cannot reason¬
ably be carried out. There is no
point in sentencing someone to a
drug rehabilitation unit if the
nearest one is ISO miles away. How
are we meant to know better than
those who produce fee reports on
which we act?"
Others argue that it is pointless
having a pick-and-mix package of
punishments for offenders without
knowing the results of existing
supervision orders. One said: “In
the same way as we get the results
of appeals, we should get fee
results of community sentences —
perhaps via some
form of monitoring
Others consider fee
exercise miscon¬
ceived. “Magistrates
cannot be expected to
ays necessary, but
cope wife executive or admini¬
strative functions,” said one JP.
There is some support for fee
way it is set out in Holland. Young
people there may be given a form
of conditional sentence feat carries
certain defined consequences. Our
system of conditional discharge
merely tells people feat if they re¬
offend within a specified period,
they can be dealt wife in a different
way for the previous offence. It
doesn't spell out the actual conse¬
quence of reoffending.
The Probation Service is natu¬
rally not happy with the proposals,
but John Harding, chairman of the
young offenders committee of fee
Association of Chief Officers of
Probation, is more sanguine, argu¬
ing feat fee Great Paper is “all
about language and appearances,
a public relations exercise for
newspaper readers”, little, he says,
will change “because magistrates
don’t have the time or fee skills to
deal personally with those who
appear before them". At present
courts have a duty to determine
and impose sentence. To expect
them to oversee sentences seems
not just impractical but potty.

tween Ferguson, manager,
and Kanchelskis, player, for
some months, making some
sort of a claim against the
Russians, as Ferguson in¬
dicated he was in the mood to
do, might appear spurious.
Kanchelskis has been com¬
plaining on and OB' thar he
finished" games for United
with stomach cramps. The
doctors could find nothing.
Ferguson suggested that the
problems were in the head,
and Kanchelskis grumbled
about seeking employment
elsewhere — possibly with
Glasgow Rangers, though
that. "too. appears to be all in
the mind.
However, the question is a
serious one. given the E10
million or more that United
would forfeit if they fail to re-
enter the European Cup next
season. The difficulty in law.
given the imponderable mood
swings of Kanchelskis. would
be proving that his absence
harmed United on a given
dav.
The Ukrainian whippet had
already returned from one
international in a wheelchair
having aggravated an ankle
injury. If it is true that a
Russian doctor injected his
abdomen eight times, then it is
lime that somebody with the
muscle of United creates a fuss
about the whole iniquity of the
painkilling drug (condoned by
sporting authorities even
though it is used to enable an
unfit athlete to run the risk of
permanent repercussions).
Yet Ferguson might be the
pot calling the kettle black.
Has he not this season perse¬
vered with Roy Keane, despite
telling us time and again that
the man is heroic, that he
needs an operation for a
hernia? Is Ferguson not the
great champion of players
such as Bryan Robson and
Steve Bruce, whose indiffer¬
ence to pain the manager has
so often said “is the attitude
that got us to the top”.
I applaud wholeheartedly,
any stance taken against pain¬
killing drugs; but litigation?
Out of the question. Statutes of
Fifa. football's world govern¬
ing body, forbid any player,
any club, any association.
From suing anyone in author¬
ity. sped Really from suing
Fifa itself.
So. Ferguson has no re¬
course other than to do what
he did yesterday, to send the
dub doctor j and George
Scanlan. the former Dean of
Humanities at Liverpool Poly¬
technic. to tzy to get to the
bottom of what ails his wing¬
er, and what exactly was
injected into him in Moscow.
Meanwhile, football and the
courts have just concluded
another distressing bout. Six
people, including construction
and security offitials. were
sentenced to imprisonment
last weekend, after the col¬
lapse of a temporary stand in
Basria, Corsica, which killed
17 people, and left 1.000 in¬
jured. Some of the injured, in
wheelchairs, attended the
trial.
Jean-Marie Boimond. who
oversaw the construction,
admitted culpability and was
sentenced to two years. Ber¬
nard Rossi, who tried to say
that his overall responsibility
for security was for die ground
but not die stand, received 18
months. They were convicted
of manslaughter, though the
cry assassin was often heard
at the hearing.
Four others were sent rojaiL
and two more received sus¬
pended sentences, though the
ultimate, if illegal, redress was
handed our to the former
mayor of Bastia. who was
murdered before he could
stand trial.
Sport and the law. the one
so prerise, die other so riddled
with emotion, do not always
prove compatible.
Kanchelskis received painkilling treatment to enable him to take die field for Russia
Doorman articulate in language of percentages
By David Powell
ATHLETICS CORRESPONDENT
SIX years ago. Luis Felipe Posso was
working as a doorman in New York,
earning $25,000 (about £16.700) a
year, plus tips. When he quit, he told
his employer that, eventually, he
would make as much in a day.
Sunday was one such day.
Posso has become the most influ¬
ential athletics agent worldwide,
supplying runners to commercial
marathons. He takes a percentage of
everything — prize-money, bonus
money, appearance fees, sponsor¬
ship deals — and. after the
N utraSjveet London Marathon, he
was opening doors for nobody.
Posscj's diems indude Dkntido
Cerdn and Steve Moneghetti. who
were first and second in the men's
race, anjd Malgorzata Sobanska and
Manuela Machado, the winner and
runner-up in the women's event.
Their collective takings would have
amounted to some $650,000. Posso’s
cut would have been way in excess of
a doorman's salary.
He is profiting now from those
nights at the Boston Marathon spent
sleeping in his car, when he could
not afford the price of a hotel room,
but neoled to work his way in with
athletes and officials. Each morning,
he would go to the race hotel change
into his suit “to look like a business¬
man" and start work.
“1 would be in the lobby all day
until midnight then go bade to the
car." Posso said. His asset was his
knowledge of languages. The more
he volunteered to help translate, the
better he got to know people.
Colombian-bom, Posso was a 2hr
44m in marathon runner. “I was not
a famous runner, but I loved to be
involved with etite runners." he said.
He noticed how races were selling
athletes short and started dealing on
their behalf. Now, he has 150
runners on his books.
He never misses an opportunity.
Marathons need pacemakers and
there is money there, too. Jan
Humk. of Poland, paced in London
and is managed by Posso.
His surprise pay packet was
Sobanska, whose ambition had been
to finish in the top eight The value
which die marathon had put on her
was less than one-tenth of die
£150.000 whidi liz McColgan, who
finished fifth, was paid to run.
Sobanska. 25. recalled how, in her
only previous visit to Great Britain,
she had been selected for the Poland
junior team for a 3.000 metres in
Ipswich and complained at. having
to run so for. Evidently, distan ce is
no problem now. She covered the
marathon on in 2hr27mm 43sec
In an arrangement the envy of the
British athletes, the Polish federa¬
tion pays die salary of her coach,
who concentrates exclusively on her.
Any money she wins, she keeps.
After rosso's cut. of course.

NOTICES
This board featured a dash
between four of the players
w ho are in the Welsh home
international squad.
Gary Martin had to play
Four Hearts from the South
seat, when his partner had
forced to game over West's
opening bid of One Chib.
Prospects look pretty gloomy,
particularly when you are toid
that there is no doubleton
queen-jack of hearts, but Mar¬
tin demonstrated that the con¬
tract could not be defeated
after this opening lead.
He ruffed the dub king and
drew two rounds of trumps,
thei settled down to run all his
spade winners, discarding di¬
amonds from hand. Adrian
Thomas, as West, could see
that if he mfied any of the
spade winners, his side would
only be able to take two
diamond winners, and declar¬
er would eventually arrange to
ruff a diamond loser in hand
for his tenth trick. He there¬
fore carefully discarded three
dubs on the spades.
Martin now exited with a
diamond to the king, cutting
the defensive communica¬
tions. Thomas won and
cashed his heart queen, then
played the dub ace.
If Martin had ruffed, he
would have had to concede
two diamond tricks to East:
but he simply discarded one of
the diamond losers from dum¬
my on this trick, and the
enforced dub continuation
from West allowed him to
discard the other on the next
trick, and score his dub queen
for tie tenth trick.
This is an aggravating hand
for the defence; they can take
three winners m many differ¬
ent ways, but dedarer can
always get ten tricks, no
matter what they do.

IT WILL be limited consola¬
tion for Paul Hull that, having
missed selection for the Eng¬
land World Cup squad, he has
now been given the captaincy
of the England A party to tour
Australia in May. The Bristol
fall back had pinned_ four
years* hopes upon playing in
South Africa; hopes that were
justified by his form on tour
there with England’ last
summer.
Clearly, Hull, with his abili¬
ty to pfoy in any position
behind the scrum save scrum
half, will be in pole position
should injury affect any of the
chosen backs between now
and .departure for the World
Cup on May 17. He is one of
only two senior internationals _
in a youthful party to visit
Australia and conclude a sev¬
en-match tour against the full
Fiji side in Suva.
Tie may be the only one if .
David Pears cannot offer evi¬
dence of his fitness. The Harle¬
quins stand-off half was
concussed in the Pilkington
Cup semi-final against Bath
on.Saturday and needs more,
than one game to prove that he
can undertake the rigours of a
tour down under in a party,
nine of whom toured Australia
two years ago with the tmder-
21s. Should Pears withdraw.
Neil Ryan, of Waterloo, will
replace him.
The Rugby Football Union
is confident of another sell-out
when Bath and Wasps meet m
foe PiDrington Cup Final at
Twick enham on May 6. The
unions own allocation of
11.400 tickets was sold by foe
end of January, of whidi at
least 3,000 have gone to Bath
supporters. Bath have re¬
ceived I3£00 tickets. Wasps,
with a analler membership,
will receive 10.000.

Heavy ground last year
reduced the National field to
36 runners. It marked only the
second occasion that fewer
than the maximum field con¬
tested the race since the
present safety limit was intro¬

ground restricted die field to
38 when Mr Frisk shattered
Neale Doughty, who
ished third aboard Rinas on
that occasion, yesterday
marked his retirement from
the saddle with a win on

the scales as the main reason
behind his derision.

the TIMES TUESDAY APRIL 41995
The Masters provides poignant reminder of a champion’s better days
Lyle struggles to
recapture former
glories at Augusta
FOR Sandy Lyle, travelling
down Magnolia Drive in yes¬
terday morning's crisp sun¬
shine was a journey down
Memory Lane. Magnolia
Drive was as beautiful as ever,
300 tree-lined yards leading to
the stately old clubhouse of the
Augusta National Golf Club.
It brought back good memo¬
ries to Lyle, of his thrilling
victory in the I9S8 Masters
and of his courageous putting
on greens cut so close that they
ihreated to turn blue from a
lack of water and exposure to
the sunshine. Most of all, he
remembered his stupendous
seven-iron shot from a bunker
on the 18th, called the greatest
bunker shot since Bobby
Jones's in an Open Champion¬
ship at Royal Lytham and St
Annes 60 years earlier.
Those were the days, seven
years ago, when Lyle had the
world at his massive feet. The
Open champion in 1985. he
played a dominant role in
Europe's victory in the 1987
Ryder Cup at Muirfield Vil¬
lage. the first in the United
States.
Now. he appears to be on
his knees, metaphorically
speaking. The man who was
one of the best players in the
world in 1988 has finished
among the top 20 players in
Europe only once since then.
His last Ryder Cup appear¬
ance was in 1987.
The cause of Lyle’S troubles
is a source of worry for all
those who like and admire this
talented man. The rocks on
which he has foundered
include a withering of his
confidence, a divorce, dimin¬
ishing skill on and around the
greens and a continual tinker¬
ing with his technique. Anno
domini cannot be overlooked,
either.
Ian Woosnam has a theory
that golfers mature around the
age of 30. that this is the time
when the disparate character¬
istics that flower and wither at
different times combine to fuse
for a few fleeting years.
“1 certainly played my best
between 1987 and 1991,"
John Hopkins finds one of golf’s
most popular players attempting
to defy the inevitable effects of time
BASKETBALL
Woosnam. who was bom in
March 1958. said. "I was a
better golfer then than I am
now."
The same would appear to
apply to Nick Faldo, who won
five major titles between July
1987. when he celebrated his
thirtieth birthday, and 1992
and who has won none since,
and Lyle, who was bom in
1958. If every rule needs an
exception to prove iu then
Nick Price provides it in this
case. He has been playing his
best golf since he celebrated
his 35th birthday.
“I was at my best in 1987.
Davis Love made sure of an
invitation to the US Masters,
which starts at Augusta. Geor¬
gia. on Thursday, with victory
in the Freeporf-McMoran
Classic in New Orleans on
Sunday. Love won at the
second extra hole in a sudden-
death play-off with Mike
Hemen. also of the United
Stales, after they had complet¬
ed the tournament in 274, 14
under par. Sandy Lyle was the
leading Britoa a 7] giving
him a total of 283, with Ian
Woosnam one shot behind.
1988. that sort of time." Lyle
said. “It seemed easier then."
He won four events in the
United States and three in
Europe in those two years.
Lyle also looked more com¬
mitted then. In New Orleans
last week, another player
talked of a practice round he
had played with Lyle: “Sandy
didn't seem interested." he
said. “His mind wasn't on the
job.” In the first round. Lyle
hit a ball into a bush and gave
up the search for it before the
allotted five minutes had
elapsed.
Lyle still hits the ball enor-

mous distances and retains
the phlegmatic temperament
that has been so helpful to
him. but the way he swings in
practice and when he hits a
ball are dramatically different.
His practice swing is conven¬
tional enough, his hands trav¬
el ling on a regular plane. The
swing he mates at the ball,
however, is so flat that his
hands go back around his
waist It looks iflee a drunken
heave.
Lyle talks of the ways in
which he is trying to make it
more upright and. to this end.
he practises with a harness
and a baseball glove. So far, it
seems, to little avail.
The difficulty that Lyle faces
is how to raise his game now
that his competitive edge is
blunted by his comfortable
income—though his contracts
are running out — and a
rewarding family life. He lives
in some comfort with Jolande.
his second wife, and their two
young children near Biggar in
Scotland, where he teaches his
two sons from his first mar¬
riage to play golf and occa¬
sionally encourages Jolande to
do so as welL
Next year. Lyle can rejoin
die United States Tour and he
intends to do so. basing him¬
self near Tony Jacklin and
family in Palm Beach. Florida.
There is little to keep him in
Europe, where his only re¬
maining contract is with Lyle
and Scott, the knitwear manu¬
facturers. It is Lyle's last
chance.

S ;uch conflict would have to be
somebody's fault and the
fathers among you may not
haw required too many guesses to
workoatwfao. The problem is feat
fromfee selfish point of view of the
father's genes, pregnancy is a one-
off opportunity to survive. They
therefore like fear progeny to be
bis. beefy and bonny. The mater¬
nal genes, by contrast, get fee
chance to survive with each preg¬
nancy and therefore favour a baby
strategy that could be best
described as litde and oftm_ .
While itwas good to see Horizon
Matthew
Bond
tackling such complex science
again, it did so with a certain ring¬
rustiness. Still, nothing feat a few
scientific Sparring sessions can’t
put right
One of fee great mysteries of life
having been addressed, it was time
to turn to another. No. not what
John Major is doing in Downing
Street ( Panorama ), but bow it can
cost £48.50 to go from Victoria
Station in London to the Kensing¬
ton Hilton, a distance of some two
miles. The answer lies with the
unlicensed taxis that illegally tout
for business at our airports and
railway stations.
To give its investigation a little
edge. Undercover Britain (Chan¬
nel^ invited Sue Hutchinson, a
formidable woman who runs a
south London and definitely ko¬
sher mini-cab firm, xo conduct it
This she did with considerable
enthusiasm and courage, employ¬
ing an American accent of doubt¬
ful aufeentirity and my least
favourite investigative device, the
camera concealed in a suitcase.
Always leaves me feeling so giddy.
The infiltration of fee station
touts she left to her researcher.
Patrick, who she said was dis¬
guised as a drifter but looked just
tike a Channel 4 researcher to me.
Nevertheless, he passed muster
and was soon unhappily rubbing
shoulders wife fee likes of Dough¬
nut and Rabbit, men whose sole
purpose in life is to relieve unsus-
peenng travellers of unbelievable
amounts of money. “Can you "bush
people?” asked Doughnut: “take
aU their money off them? Don’t
work for me if you canX" Patrick
thought he could — in the interests
of research, of course.
I f it wasn’t so awful, what they
exposed would have been quite
funny. Like fee driver who
confidently announced: “You are
now in south London.” as he drove
yet another curious American
accent up Park Lane. Or fee driver
who, when confronted wife the
evidence at 5am. swore blind feat
it was his twin brother who had
charged £19.50 to go from Victoria
to a Regent Street hotel.
The programme was long on
damning evidence, but short on
solutions. Hutchinson, however,
had definitely made her poini.
Which is an awful lot more than
can be said for Deadline (Chan¬
nel 4). One behind the scenes look
at Yorkshire Television’s Calen¬
dar programme. J could just about
understand, but six? This week’s
action-packed instalment featured
Richard WhiteJey smnding in from
of a blue screen for five minutes
and one of Pontefract’s unem¬
ployed angrily wondering why
when she had gone to all fee
trouble of shouting over Michael
POrriJlo's interview, fee Calendar
team had gone to all fee trouble of
editing her oul Still, if feat didm
grab you there was always Jake
Manglewurrie marrying his mud
wrestler, not to mention the two
young women learning to read fee
Autocue.
But undoubtedly fee most in¬
structive episode concerned fee
problems that Yorkshire women's
passion for high heels presents for
long-suffering sound men. “We’ll
just wait for the clippity-clop to
pass." said one. Now there's a bit
of good advice.

My Good Friend
. J7V. S30pm
The latest offeringfrom the prolific but uneven Bob
Larbey, whose As Time Goes By is currently on BBC),
is a wry study of old age. Melancholy music and
fedting leaves establish fee tone, reinforced by our first
sight of widower Peter (George Colzas he lays flowers
(to his wife's grave. Peter lives with his daughter and
: soo-inTaw. She finds him irksome when he is there
and worries about him when he is not He chums up
wife another old codger (Richard Pearson) in a
relationship that seems likely to survive its tetchy start.
My Good Friend is described as a comedy drama, but
is not over-endowed with either laughs or incident. It is
a. benign, writ-observed and rather sad piece,
sustained by expert playing from its seasoned stars.
Omnzbas: Jean Renoir
BBC1.1030pm (Scotland 11.15pm)
Originally scheduled for last year, when it would have
cauehr fee Renoir centenary, David Thompson’s
intelligent two-part profile is still better late than
never. Although greatly admired by cinema buffs and
by other film-makers, Renoir does not enjoy die
popular reputation of his faiher, Auguste, the painter.
Vet as ftter Bogdanovich puts it. Jean Renoir made ft
possible to believe that fee cinema could create
Tavernier and Louis Malle, dissect Renoir* humanity
and' feel for cinema in a p ro gra mme which
concentrates on the great 1930s films such as La
Grande Illusion and La Regie du Jen.
Network First: Small Mirades
/TV. 10.40pm
Caroline Monkman is expecting twins but her babies
are in trouble. One is taking too much blood from the
placenta, the other not enough. Monkman is referred
to Professor Kypros Nicolaides of King’s College
Hospital in London who has pioneered a laser surgery
operation that could save the twins'lives. But there are
nsks and fee professor is honest about them. The film
follows this and other cases which call upon
hficolaidert expertise, including a screening test for
Down’s Syndrome and an unborn baby with fluid oh
both its hmgs. If fee programme tends to concentrate
on his successes, it also mentions his failures. He
admits that once he used to cry in front o this patients.
He still finds it difficult to deal wife bad news.

Victory puts Australia in charge
West Indies
facing test
of character
From John Woodcock in Bridgetown. Barbados
FOR the first time since 1975-
76. when Clive Lloyd’s side
gave up the ghost in Australia.
West Indies cricketers are
faced with a crisis of confi¬
dence. Australia not only won
the first Test match of this
series here on Sunday, but. in
doing so. they also showed
West Indies up as being badly
in need or cohesion. One of the
strengths or modem West
Indian sides has been that
players have pulled for each
other: in this one. they seemed
not lo be doing so.
In Andy Roberts, they have
a new manager who was
much feared as a bowler and
still has a fairly quelling way
with him. He knows more
than enough to have seen thaL
at times. Ambrose and Walsh
were at half-cock, and that far
too many West Indies wickets
were thrown away. At the end
of the first day. after West
Indies had been bowled out
for 195. Roberts attributed
their negligence to a surfeit of
one-day cricket; but nobody,
himself included, can have
been convinced by thaL
Mark Taylor, die Australia
captain, was surprised to find
that when, early in the Austra¬
lia first innings, he hooked at
Ambrose, he had finished his
stroke before the ball arrived.
Ambrose has been kept out of
the game with shoulder trou¬
ble. but in one of the stands
was a West Indian banner
suggesting that his shoulder
was not the matter so much as
his attitude. There were no
such half measures with the
Australians: they were wholly
committed and played very
well for their ten-wicket
victory.
Several times in recent
years, one has thought that
West indies were ready for the
taking, but it has never quite
happened. Their fast bowlers,
and the confidence which they
transmit have allowed them
to prevail. When they have lost
a Test match, as they did
against England here in
Bridgetown last year, it has
usually been after the series
has been won. It is a very
different matter losing a first
Test match, let alone in com¬
fortably under three days;
when they are searching for
an opening pair, have an
ageing, somewhat mercurial
attack, and have just brought
back a captain who has been
through the torment of a
breakdown.
The advantage Richie Rich¬
ardson had when he took over
the West Indian side from
Vivian Richards in 1991 was
that he is a less daunting
Waqar doubt —
_36
figure than his predecessor
and the players were happier
for iL He was never a percep¬
tive tactician, any more than
Richards had been or Lloyd
was. but he grew into the job
and was well liked. Captain¬
ing West Indies to success
through the Nineties had been
a matter simply of shuffling
the fast bowlers and acquiesc¬
ing in as much intimidation as
they could get away with.
Richardson now returns to a
side that has been rather
enjoying itself under Courtney
Walsh, their caretaker cap-

tain, and at a time when he.
himself, is searching desper¬
ately for confidence, not only
as a batsman but also in his
own worldliness. From now
on. he will need ail the help he
can get from his team, and
Roberts will have told them so
in no uncertain terms.
The West Indian selectors
are also under pressure. To
have included two unfledged
opening batsmen was indica¬
tive of an over-confidence in¬
duced by West Indies’s easy 4-
I victory in the one-day series
and the absence from the
Australia ride of Craig
McDermott.
The Australians were
delighted that neither
Simmons nor Arthurion was
chosen for the first Test match.
They felt that they had less to
fear from Campbell and Wil¬
liams. who. in the event,
totalled only 17 runs between
them.
There is further resentment,
too. that Desmond Haynes,
rather than going in first for
West Indies last week, as he
had wanted, was making 92
for Western Province against
Orange Free State in Bloem¬
fontein.
In Brian Lara, of course.
West Indies still have the
world’s best batsman. To him.
almost anything is possible.
With one innings, he could
transform the series. Mention
of him brings one to that
“catch", the one that never was
of the first day but which,
unfortunately, accounted for
Lara when he had made 65.
Considering to whom it
happened, when it happened
and that nobody is in any
doubt that Steve Waugh put
the ball down, h has caused
remarkably little antagonism.
If Australia had been playing
England, it would have regis¬
tered on the Richter scale.
Here, prudently, there are
seen to Ik more far-reaching
reasons for such an unexpect¬
ed defeat
□ Craig McDermott, the Aus¬
tralia fast bowler, has aban¬
doned plans to rejoin the tour
after medical tests on torn i
ligaments ruled out an early j
recovery.
Conner and his S tars & Stripes crew celebrate the victory over Mighty Mary thar forced a sail-off between the yachts today. '
Conner draws level in battle of the sexes
IF NOTHING else. Dennis Conner is
a master of survival. Hie America's
Cup maestro, pummelled from aD
sides, fought bade to gain a decisive
victory over Bill Koch’s women's crew
off San Diego on Sunday to keep hopes
alive that his Stars 8 Snipes team can
continue towards a record sixth tilt at
yachting's premier trophy.
Had Leslie Egnot and her crew on
Mighty Mary won. then Conner, who
has withstood a barrage of protests on
and off the water during the past week,
would have been knocked out of the
cup before reaching the finals for the
first time in more than two decades.
Instead, a victory today in a sudden-
death sail-off against Mighty Mary
will propel Conner, the only man lo
have lost and regained the America's
Cup, through to the Citizen Cup finals
against Kevin M ah alley's champion
defence candidate. Young America.
“We fed we have momentum now."
Paul Cayard who shares the wheel of
Stars 8 Stripes with Conner, said after
their one-sided four-minute win. “IPs
been a tough week, especially after the
jury took away one of our wins over the
Bany Pickthall on the male failings that prevented
a triumph over chauvinism in the America’s Cup
keel change, but now we have a real
chance."
Koch, whose vision and wealth have
helped mould a disparate team of
female rowers, weightiifters and other
athletes into a workfrdass sailing crew,
was frustrated as victory over male
chauvinism slipped away.
The greatest irony was that just
when the women sailors had their
greatest success in right, it was the
man Koch had brought on board to
replace J. J. Isler. the female tactician,
who lost the race. Dave Detienbaugh
was the controversial inclusion to this
once all-women crew whose strategic
sldBs were meant to sharpen up the
team's tactical abilities. Yet it was he
who made the greatest tactical mistake
of them all — steering the boat over the
start tine early.
It was an unforced error drawn from
a last-minute dither as to which end of
the line to start Twenty seconds before
the gun, he was in two minds about
whether to' rnntfnw harassing
Gooner* yacht or fade away for a dear
start, at the committee boat eod of the
line: DeDenbaugh shot die boat up into
the wind, chang ed Ms mind and bore-
back down towards Stars 8 Stripes.
Then, moments before the starling gun
fired, he pulled the wheel down again
and was caught with Might Marys
bows across the line three seconds
early. •
By the time that he had handed the
wheel over to Egnot to steer the rest of
tlie race and she had returned to cross
the line correctly. Mighty Mary was a
mighty 53 seconds adrift In her 21
starts before this semi-final series, Isler
had not been caught out in such
embarrassing fashion, although she
was late once for a start
As a result Conner, who once said
that he would give iq> sailing if ever
beaten by the women, had the victory
he needed most handed to him on a
plate, ending a three-race losing streak
that only hours before, had looked Eke
tearing him high and dry for the test of
the series. Instead, Conner levelled the
series 3-3 and wan die right to a sad-
off
The race jury, headed fay John
Doerr, the Briton, swiftly cleared die
backlog of p rotests and counter-pro¬
tests that have surrounded the^gotro-
versial keel change to Conners
damaged yacht a week ago. The
litigious issues, which threatened to
submerge the event and drag the
bade to die dark days of 1988, when the
cup was fought over in the Supreme
Court were dealt with in the firmest
manner. "•
Doerr refused Koch’s request to
reopen the bed issue, dismissed
Conners protest against Young Ameri¬
ca and spoke darkly of charging
protesters with unsportsmanlike cox-
duct if any more frivolous issues were
brought to his attention. As a remit
two other protests slid pending were
quietly withdrawn, leaving the waters
dear for a good dean fight today.

Blackburn primed to widen gap
By Peter Ball
BLACKBURN Rovers can
take another step towards the
FA Carling Premiership tide
at Loftus Road tonight A win
against Queens Park Rangers
will put them eight points
dear of Manchester United
with only six games to {day.
Their fortuitous win at
Evenon on Saturday, com¬
bined with United’s failure to
beat Leeds United on Sunday,
appeared to tilt the balance
firmly in Blackburn's favour.
Kenny Dalglish, the Black-
bum manager, as always,
refused yesterday to look be¬
yond tonight, but the feeling
grows that the fates are with
his team, and even he recog¬
nises his side's luck a:
Goodison Park.
"Every team needs a bi: of
good fortune and we were a bi:
short on that in the early part
of the season, so maybe it is
catching up with us now ." he

said. “Perhaps the luck we got

United can only- hope that
Blackburn's luck has run out
Perhaps it has. for, after

contrast to Shearer, Black-
bum’s spearhead.
If Dalglish refuses to take
anything for granted, his trib¬
ute to his team yesterday
morning sounded like a trib¬
ute to champions. It also
provided a testimony to the
qualities required to win an
English championship. “You
only get luck if you work hard
for it and they have worked
tremendously hard." Dalglish
said. They [the piayersj have
shown they can play, they've
shown they can compete: they
can play against footballing
sides, they can play against
physical sides, which you have
to da They can play in the
wind and the rain and even in
the few bits of sun. They've
been through all our seasons
and they are still standing
there to be counted."
□ Cambridge United, of the
Endsleigh Insurance League
second division, yesterday dis¬
missed Gary Johnson, thar
manager, and placed Tommy
Taylor, the former West Ham
player, in temporary charge.
□ Three Welsh nan-league
clubs — Newport AFC. Col-
wyn Bay and Caernarfon
Town — have been banned
indefinitely by Fife, the sport's
world governing body, from
all competitions from the end
of this season. The Fbotball
Association of Wales is being
taken to the High Court by the
dubs for refusing to allow
them to play in the English
pyramid system from their
Welsh bases.

K erry Packer, the Sydney rebel
tycoon whose world' circus split
cricket in 1977. is the unlikely
establishment figure now battling to
prevent a “Packer-style" television revo¬
lution of rugby league.
For World Series Cricket read Star
League, a proposed ten-team super
league in Australia and New* Zealan d
which has attracted around 100 deserters
from the Australian Rugby League
IARL). Paster's Channel Nine television
network holds exclusive rights for ARL
games, and he is determined to shepherd
them back into the fold
The ARL its coffers swelled by Packer,
extracted loyalty pledges yesterday from
25 players. However, most of the present
Australia side have signed up for the
alternative competition with News Limit¬
ed. part of The News Corporation, of
which Rupert Murdoch is chairman and
chief executive and which is the parent
company of The Times.
Christopher Irvine on how a
super league in Australia may
affect rugby league in Britain
Star League matches are due to be
screened from next year on pay television
in Australia and via BSkyB and Star-TV
in Great Britain and Asia.
Ricky Stuart the Australia scram halt
is among the prominent figures to sign,
hut Packer ami the ARL were last night
still attempting to dissuade him. "1
bdieve in the super league concept"
Laurie Daley said “and my future is
secured" — a reference to the stand-off
ball's reputed seven-year El million deal.
A ban on rebels playing any represen¬
tative rugby was not an unsurprising
resort by the ARL It is one way in which
the stride might be taken out of the
Australians in the World Cup this
autumn in England and Wales, but
hardly a satisfactory one. Ripples from
die revolution 12J)00 miles away might
extend to leading players in Britain being
enticed Then, there is the question of
Wigan’s on-off World Club Challenge
defence in June against Canberra, one of
three dubs facing expulsion by the ARL
The possibility of a world league
controlled from Australia troubles the
Rugby Football League. Rodney Walter,
the chairman, said “In the event of
Murdoch creating a schism in Australia,
it is inevitable he will want to talk to us. If
we simply sit bade and allow him to
cherry pick, there would be the efee and
the rest."
Less than a month after the launch of
four new teams is an expanded Winfield
Cup. the revolt from within appears far
more serious than die one quashed by
Packer in February. Unless delayed by
court action, the rebels could be up and
running by next March.
